Yes!!!
The Texas Rangers of that period didn't have a "standard" uniform. A quick search of Google images will show you that they generally didn't have anything that looked like the subject product.
Did you see those short sleeves? Scandalous in the 1860s!
This article may help you understand where the inspiration came from for this product. The short sleeves just help to keep the poly count down.

Great link, thanks for posting it. I have been looking at your products because I am trying to kitbash an indian war cavalry outfit, so thanks for the historic clothing it is appreciated
Ah.. so the early Texas Rangers then.. that makes sense..
I see now. Definitely not the Texas Rangers I was thinking about (living in Texas and all). Shenandoah makes a lot more sense as well. I thought the Civil War reference as a time period only.
@hacsart
The early (est) Texas Rangers were 1823.
So, looking at the previews, the spurs catch my eye as being a bit off.. (yes, living in the West, I've helped out on some friends ranches at various times, and yes I do have boots and spurs..) What I see is that your spur strap (that goes across the arch of the boot) attaches under the spur. Pretty much every one I have seen attaches on the outside of the spurs.
Also the roundel (the star shaped bit can rotate freely, and is held in place by a rivet where the ends of the spur sides form, well, a join.. Here s a pic;
Also, on most spur sets theres a small leather fastener or chain that runs under the boot instep to keep the spur from riding up the boot shaft - see which"
The heel of the boot also has a spur ridge to support the spur.. you can see it as it sticks out a bit at the back of the heel...
BTW .. these are my dress boots - ostrich lowers, kabgaroo shafts, custom inlays - with a high riding heel..
Hope that gives you some ideas...
Thanks, I did not know that the heel of the boot had a spur ridge, you learn sumething new every day.
No worries.. One thing to note, the spur ridge on the boots in the picture is a bit exxagerated.. Most are not quite that prominent...
I see what appears to be a pistol in a holster in the preview images. Will there be an actual pistol included?
No, the full pistol is not included with this set.
Dig! I can't be the only one who expected a Chuck Norris Walker Texas Ranger outfit from the title! This still looks awesome!
