American "Wild Western" clothing developed in the 19th Century as an amalgamation of European and Native American attire.  In the period following the Civil War, dime novels, plays, and Wild West Shows on Western themes began to be popular in Europe and America.  The first dramatic narrative motion picture, The Great Train Robbery (1903), was also the first "Western" film, a genre that grew out of these Western novels and plays, and which continues in popularity to this day. The uniquely colorful and interesting clothing worn by people on the frontier first captured the public imagination in the 1880's and has been an influence on fashion ever since.
