...presidential jeans were trim, the snakeskin boots glistened in the Sunday sun and the white knit tennis shirt clung flatteringly to Ronald Reagan's chest. As he chatted with a few friends and reporters on the White House's South Lawn, one newsman complimented him on his flat belly.

City dudes are sporting wide-brimmed cowpoke sombreros (often with Indian accents of feathers and turquoise-inlaid headbands), yoke shirts, off-the-range Levi's, brass- or gold-buckled belts and high-steppin' boots of alligator or snakeskin. Some real rootin' tooters tote leather holsters (empty) and cartridge belts. The lady on the Marlboro man's arm is apt to resemble Pocahontas, in a fringed T shirt, multicolored headband, squash-blossom necklace, beaded deerskin bag with dangling mink paws and -the essential accessory-white, fringed moccasins.
