Western Words has 5,000 words of cowboy language as vibrant now as it was in the old American frontier. "Within the cowman's figures of speech lie the rich field of his subtle humor and strength-unique, original, full-flavored. With his usually limited education he squeezes the juice from language, molds it to suit his needs, and is a genius at making a verb out of anything. He 'don't have to fish 'round for no decorated language to make his meanin' clear, ' and has little patience with the man who 'spouts words that run eight to the pound.' Perhaps the strength and originality in his speech are due to the solitude, the nearness of the stars, the bigness of the country, and the far horizons-all of which give him a chance to think clearly and go into the depths of his own mind. Wide spaces 'don't breed chatterboxes.' On his long and lonely rides, he is not forced to listen to the scandal and idle gossip that dwarf a man's mind. Quite frequently he has no one to talk to but a horse..." --from the author's IntroductioBinding Type: Paperback

Perfect Suit Great Quality and Value
Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years, Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years
I love at how nice this boys suit turned out. The slim fit gives it a stylish, elegant look, and it makes my nephew look so sharp and grown up. Fit true to size.
The material feels good quality, not thin or cheap, and itβs definitely nicer than I expected for the price. I really like that it comes as a full set, which made things so much easier instead of having to buy down extra pieces. Love the tie and the vest, so cute.
He wore it for a special event and got so many compliments, people couldnβt believe how handsome he looked. It stayed looking neat all day, and he was able to move around comfortably. I could easily see him wearing this again for weddings, church, holidays, or even school pictures.
Overall, itβs a great buy if you want your little guy to look dressed up without spending a fortune. Beautiful boys suit, stylish and elegant, great value and quality. Wash inside out, and air dry.

One of the best suits out there!!
Color: Christmas Green, Size: 8 Years
I am not one who write reviews, so the fact that I'm penning this review you should know. These suits are the best, the sizing, the fit, the quality everything is perfect. I bought for my 3 sons and they all fit well, I was worried about the fit because one of my son is slender but tall so length things would be okay but waist toooo big, with this suit everything was on point. Ages: 13-14(about 5"4-5"5 have a little body wouldn't consider husky) got him size 18,
10-11(slender but a little tall for his age) got him size 14,
9yr old(average height and body size) got him size 8. Can't beat the price and for 6 pieces(pants, vest, jacket, shirt, tie, bowtie)

Great buy
Color: Champagne, Size: 6 Years
I bought 3 sizes for my sons to wear at our wedding. They are heavy duty quality material. The dress shirts are a little stiff and snug but also great quality. Would buy again 100%
