Wearing his trusty Leone Poncho, he felt like an un-named stranger ready to save the day in the Old West.

Ponchos, or serapes, were often brightly colored and patterned with geometric designs. They were made from woven wool and could be extremely heavy. Mexican cowboys, Vaqueros, often wore them like a cloak, draped loosely or thrown across the shoulders. When not worn, ponchos were rolled and tucked behind the saddle, used as blankets, and were considered a valuable item of a vaquero’s kit. Although they did not originate in Mexico, but rather Spain, they were embraced during the colonial period and became part of Mexican tradition and worn by all.

Our poncho is fashioned from 100% wool and weighs 3 pounds. Imported. Machine wash cold, line dry. Measures approximately 76" x 39" (unfolded) with a 4" tassels, and a 14.5" neck opening with a reinforced leather collar. One size fits most.
