An archetypal Chiricahua Apache Warrior: He wears a cloth bandana headband, a stripe of war paint across his face, beaded necklace, (usually turquoise) Neckerchief tied with silver conch. cotton shirt, loose cotton trousers, (optional) breechclout, and calf length buckskin moccasins. Over a buttoned waistcoat of corduroy he wears a war medicine thong of shell and beads slung from his right shoulder attached to a beaded pouch fringed with tin cones. Tweezers for plucking facial hair hang from a thong around his neck.
He carries an 1873 lever action Winchester carbine decorated with brass tacks. he has two cartridge belts: one, decorated with red paint, supports a holster which holds a pearl-handled Colt double-action Frontier Model 1878, (if he can get it) a thong hanging from the lanyard ring on the butt. A buckskin serves as the horse's saddle, and the bridal is leather, decorated with brass tacks and silver. -Thunder
