It's not always easy to find interesting accessories to wear on the weekend but a horsehair belt can be a stylish way to add western dash to city denim.
Personally, I prefer the more conservative varieties but horsehair belts can be made bespoke from hitched or braided hair in a variety of western patterns that are combined with beads, leather and buckles for looks that are limited only by the imagination of the designer.
As with any eye-catching accessory, the key to successful integration is restraint. Horsehair on the streets of New York is statement enough and in my opinion the wearer should save his cowboy boots for a dude ranch.
Find them online at western stores like Ebert, Colorado's 6k Tack Shop, home to the belt in the photo.

I'll leave this accessory to the good old boys in Texas...
Will,
Somehow I do not see you wearing this belt. But it is a nice one for a change of pace.
What shoes would be appropriate?
I had one when I wore jeans, and enjoyed it. That was a while ago, but I know ASW readers who wear denim and thought they might find it useful.
The best shoes would depend on the predominant color of the belt. I wore dirty bucks a lot with mine.
Don't care for those belts myself. had a couple when I was in High school. As for shoes, I would wear a suede loafer or a suede or leather moccassin with leath soles or a driving shoe as is very popular in So Cal. Chukas are fine as well.
