Description

Mule Skinner VestMule Skinner Vest

Mule Skinner Vest by the Last Best West – Wagons pulled by mules and Ox Carts were employed all over the vast west, to haul every manner of commercial product. And during the buffalo hunting years they hauled a lot of buffalo hides, meat and bones.

Muleskinners were tasked with the difficult duty of keeping their string of mules in line.  Whether in a mining capacity, or during the war, these talented mule herders could keep their animals in line like no other by expertly manipulating a bullwhip.

A bullwhip is a tool for working with livestock in open country and is still used today. A typical bullwhip has a single tail and is made of braided leather.  It can be “cracked” in such a way that part of the whip moves fast enough to exceed the speed of sound and creates a small sonic boom.

Many of the West’s favourite sons would do a stint driving freight at some time or another. Wyatt Earp spent some time as a mule Skinner when he was first out West and finding his way.

This vest is made from heavy Pigskin Leather and is available in Men’s sizes XXS to 5XL.  See sizing chart in the picture gallery.

almost always about 4 inches larger than your jean size.

size 40 jean you would order a 44 inch belt.

Getting the correct gun belt measurement is easy if you follow some simple steps.

  1. Put on a pair of britches/pants you plan to wear with your gun belt

  2. Have handy any belt that currently fits you. You can even use a piece of string.

  3. Put the belt on and buckle it where you will wear your gun belt Slightly down over your hips in most cases. Remember the gun belt will be supporting another 4 pounds per pistol and holster {about 3 lbs for the pistol; 1 lb for the holster} That weight will drag the belt down. You may want to go another notch tighter in your measuring.

  4. Make note of the most comfortable hole in which the buckle goes through.

  5. Lay the belt on a flat surface and measure from the end of the buckle to the most comfortable hole. See picture below.

  6. Distance from the buckle end to the centre hole of your belt will be the measurement you supply us with. This is now your gun-belt size.

  7. Generally this measurement should be about 3 to 4 inches larger than your jean size.
