Wild Wild West Part I

Though it may seem somewhat incongruous for a medieval fantasy world, there are all sorts of possibilities for giving your WoW toon a western look. I previously showed you what a bearded dwarf looks like dressed like an indian and a prospector. Thanks to at least 24 different styles of wide brimmed hat and a number of others of a smilar nature, there is really no excuse not to get on your cowboy duds.

This is a very clothie friendly look, and many of the garments can be made by tailors. Sterkvark is wearing brown linen pants (azure silk pants are a reasonable alternative), and a red linen vest. This vest and the green woolen one are both open fronted and unlaced on male toons and have that western look. The blue linen vest is closed in front but also works well. The white tuxedo shirt with its string tie is perfect for wearing beneath the vest.

It is hard to find decent cowboy boots, but simple styles without cuffs or extess adornments are appropriate for cowboys. Sterk wears simple linen boots.

Leather wearers should consider the Wanderer's Belt, which looks like it was inlayed with silver. Simple belts with big buckles are just the thing. There are no pistols and holsters in the game, but some of the double barrelled shotguns are a great choice. Sterk has a Dwarven Hand Cannon.

The hat, though, is key. The black Master's Hat is Sterk's favorite. As for the pet, he goes with the worg pup and rides a slow pinto mount from Stormwind.
