I still think the Hollywood 'Western Gunfighter' was a lot cooler looking than the real ones...Tight tailored clothes; low slung holster; useless hat; walking boots...

Two of the only real-seeming Westerns I've seen are "The Long Riders" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales"...

...And they all drank cappuccino with creamer, honey and sugar...
