This cowboy by Roy Dean is a good counterpoint for White's preceding drawing.
It is part of the preservation collection of the Leather Archive and 
Museum of Chicago, by whose kind permission I use it here.

    1. They seem to have an eclectic collection. Maybe it's the boots?

    2. Western themes in general are great for leather enthusiasts. Chaps, boots, belts, saddles...And of course the Indians wear a lot of animal skins.

      Lassos can be a bondage thing, and that's the truth.

    3. Yeah, there is indeed crossover between the cowboys/Indians and leather motifs.

  3. For Roy Dean, this model was Don Bowman (aka Gordon Grant)
