How and why has the American cowboy fashion/culture persisted for so long up until our current decade? Every decade has a fashion and culture that later we come to our senses about. But not the cowboy apparently.

    I cant say anything about fashion, but cowboy culture still exists because there are still quite a few working cowboys and ranches out west.

Simple: we still have cowboys, therefore we still have their clothing.



"Cowboy fashion" is entirely pragmatic. The jeans, overalls, hats, wide belts, boots, handkercheifs, etc., all serve a variety of practical functions for people on a ranch. Many of them are practical for rural inhabitants, whether they work on a ranch or not. When I was living in rural Texas, for example, I had both a hat (because it was good for both rain and sun), and cowboy boots (because they protect your lower legs and are easy to clean).

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
