Very cool. I'd love to tour your shop.
No le entiendo nadade nada
Idoma inglés nunca orrible
Hable el espñal
Thank you for the video, information on reata making is limited for most of us.
These old Mexican saddles are originally from central Mexico and from there they spread all over northern and southern Mexico. For whatever reason only Alta California gets the propaganda. It is a nice project however.
Are people able to tour this house on any given day? Do they use it like an inn or do ghost tours?
San Juan Bautista hosts a ghost walk, hosted by thr rotary club. Informally, if people drop by and we're here, we like to accept people who are interested in it.
@@california_traditions Is there any chance if I came out that way from Modesto I could do some paranormal investigating? I have a variety of equipment and a communication device called a portal. I'm also a psychic-medium. I've investigated the mission before and was looking for a haunted hotel or Airbnb to stay at while there, do you know of any by chance? Thanks
Aswome video! Thank you for sharing this🙏
My pleasure @francoissheil9355
What evidence do you have for drawstrings on the skirt and petticoat? The extant ones I have seen so far are cut with a front and back waistband, slit on the sides with string ties on each side like late 18thc skirts.
The best evidence we have is based on the knowledge of a local woman named Shirley Jolif. She is our best local authority.
Thank you for the video
You're welcome @vaquero7072
Thank you
You're welcome
Nice fuste!!! I would like to see you covering it with rawhide soon!!!!
Hooefully coming soon! @angelojeda2146
Hope that I can respond to you David? Anyway, thanks for checking out our videos and commenting! Seems like we agree that women did indeed wear hats. Haven't come across anything though indicating that women were restricted to wearing hats ONLY when riding, so my best guess is that they wore them whenever they wanted to. Also, we seem to agree that women wore jackets, but how often may be a matter of conjecture (maybe whenever they got cold?). In my ignorance I wouldn't be able to see a bodice-like thing with long sleeves as being anything different than a jacket, or substantially different from the short, tight-fitting jackets that the men seam to have been wearing at the time. In our case, Olga absconded with my green jacket because her rebozos weren't enough to keep her happily warm. I suspect that the early Californio ladies weren't above engaging in such behavior as well.
Nice video!!! Vaqueros from Sonora still use riatas! I am waiting for more videos about the saddle!!
Thank you Angelo! Wonderful, those riatas are made of rawhide? Might be a while...
@@california_traditions They are rawhide I think they call them soguillas
@@california_traditions yes, they are made from rawhide and the sonoran vaqueros call them riatas too.
Where's the continued part?
Coming soon Maas!
so good to see your smiling face again my friend, hope all is well in OSJB
Hollywood decided to make part of a film here, at SJBSHP. I don't know too many films that feature San Juan other than Vertigo which was film in the late 1950's. Hope you're well too amigo!
Was it you that made the aramas I'm really interested in those if you do know how to make them would you make a video on it?
We did make the armas. I'm not sure when we'll get to making a video on that subject, but please keep checking back for when we do.
Central Mexico does not use riatas, it is mostly Jalisco only nowadays with a few exceptions in Colima that use riatas but they call them soguillas de cuero crudo. (Rawhide soguillas). Central Mexico area uses ixtle for their sogas/reatas To be more specific it is mostly the coast and West Sierra of Jalisco the place where they use rawhide riatas. The area from Autlán to the coast including el Tuito, Mascota, Talpa de Allende, Tomatlán, la hurta, among others. There is a video by David Alonso who talks about it.
Thanks for the first hand info!
I’ve seen them use them in Baja California tambien .
When you mentioned the rebozo it reminded me about a song called : rebozo de Santa María. There is a place in Mexico famously know for making the finest rebozos, where people would and still go buy rebozos so fine that it would go through a ring 💍 Las Adelitas during the Mexican revolución about 100 years ago, wore rebozos and there are plenty of pictures. Today, las escaramuzas charras still wear their attire including rebozos with laborious and gorgeous knots.
We will look up the song, thanks for the suggestion. And thank you for adding info about the culture surrounding rebozos.
Your comments are much appreciated!
Just need to flip your honda over so the button is on the other side.
Thanks for Saturday afternoon bliss. 🏕️
The clothing is beautiful, I enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
Thanks!
thank you for this video, it may not be 100% accurate but the effort is really appreciated since theres a lack of videos and information focusing on the clothing of californio women, when i found your channel i was very intrigued by the clothing of the lady who appeared on your videos (i assume she is your wife), her skirts are gorgeous!
You're welcome, thank you fornwatching and for your comment. If you would like to discuss what is not accurate, we are open to discussing. A talented woman made those skirts.
Most welcome. We are probably not the best experts on period clothing, but we felt that getting something out on early California clothing would be a good thing. Olga is indeed my "Better Half"!
@@california_traditionssorry for the late answer, i was basing my opinion on what i’ve read in websites, blogs, books, museums and facebook groups in my case i’d represent a californio look with a simple gown (the design would depend on the decade i choose to represent), a neckerchief or a mantón de manila pinned around the shoulders, and a camorra (black silk headscarf) or a tápalo wrapped around the head to make the “californio” look more obvious your interpretation is totally valid though! i think it suits Miss Olga a lot if we have in mind that older women tended to be more traditional in the way they dressed in comparison to younger women who were more influenced by the latest fashions
I'm afraid I can't agree with a number of your conclusions, especially about hats and jackets, neither of which are supported by period evidence.
We would be happy to discuss the matter here David.
That's fine. Do you have any evidence for Californio women wearing hats except when riding? Also, women's jackets, when worn (and few women did) were more like period bodices rather than men's jackets. @@california_traditions
How wide do you cut the leather?
Hello, we like to cut the rawhide about 1/4 inch. The cut width depends upon the final use of the rawhide.
morning all ! was fun to see the process, much thanks to your darling wife. the love between you chases the clouds away...
Thanks!
Nice!!!!
Thank you
Excellent!! My grandma made underwear and shirts with linen bags for 7 kids and my grandpa. He made beds with wood and rawhide with the same principles that the chairs that you made. Are you thinking to make a bed too? Could be a great video!!
So cool your grandma did that for her family. Yes, we've made rawhide beds and if we have a customer we will film the process. Thank you Angelo!
Nice work!!! We write it as batea! The pronunciation is very good!!
Thank you, I need to change that, oops!
Thanks, for the history and the care. Good to see you, k
Great work
Thanks!
good to see you. all the best
Thanks Jack!
Qué maravilla. En Asturias, España, aún se conserva algúna carreta similar, sin clavos ni piezas metálicas. Saludos desde España.
Excellent Roberto! Thank you from California. We would love to see some of the carretas of your region.
Very cool. These could be percussion instruments. I guess they probably didn't have the money to smelt bells. Just subscribed to your wonderful channel. Keep making these kind of short videos- they'll be very popular!
Thanks for your positivity and support Mark.
Could you share some measurements of the saddle tree? Please🙏
Yes, I'll try and get a video up this week 👍
@@california_traditions Aswome!!! Really appreciate it 🙏
@@california_traditions hi Joe Me again Any chance you'd sell some templates? Sorry to bother you
Doesn't look like that rawhideing video has made it up yet. Any chance? By the way, an oldtime saddle maker told me that, Cottonwood was popular because the wood grew with a lot of twist so most of the twist was grown in.
Could you please show how you put together the fuste please🙏
@francoissheil9355 We will, it'll take us a while to make though. Check back soon
Excelente video!!!🙌
Thank you!
Aswome video!!! Please keep sharing 🙏
Muy bonito. Aquí en España se marca muy poco a fuego ya
Gracias amigo
Gracias por hacer estos vídeos. Podría compartir el nombre de el libro que enseña en este vídeo. Me gustaría buscar ese libro y leerlo.
El libro es "The Spanish West", Time-Life Books, New York. !Gracias por ver a los videos!
Although these noise makers could have been used to wake people up. I have a contribution to your channel. I served as an altar server on a small town in the middle of the Sierra Madre in Jalisco Mexico and the Basilica that I served on had one wooden box that looks the exact same as the one you are showing here. This wooden box I’m talking about was only used during the holly week in the Catholic faith. It is during holly Friday and I cannot remember if other day besides holly Friday. Anyway the point is that the wooden box is used during the religious services and or mass because the bells were muted during those days and no music was played. About the matraca there is a big one in the catedral de Morelia Michoacan. That matraca is so big that is on the tower of the catedral and it is used on the holly week as I mentioned above. There is a video here on UA-cam about this matraca and the people who move it to make noise are called matraqueros.
Thank you for your contribution to our channel. It is good to know that the noise makers were used during holy week - it confirms what we thought. That's pretty amazing, can't wait to find that video. It's fascinating to us that the matraca connects us, from Spain, Mexico to California. Thanks again for your contribution.
Hello from spanish again. Do you make mecate??? Can you explain It?? Thanks for all
Hello Roberto. Yes! I'm with John now and will create a video about mecates in a few weeks.
Lamento no entender todo lo que dice, pero gracias por el vídeo. Beautifull hall...
Podriamos comunicarnos en español, sí le gustaria.
Beautifull work. Hi fron Spain
