A friend on another forum is looking for info for his persona. He lives in the El Paso area and is wondering about clothing and stuff for a trapper that has made his way into that area and decided to stay. Thanks, folks.

Information is sketchy at best. A time frame would be of great help. Pre Texas rev, Texas rev to the war with Mexico, after the war with Mexico.
Time frame will also determine if he would even be allowed in that area
Old Salt
1800-1830 as best I can tell.
This first link tells about trappers in Taos, NM...note, I don't know that the clothing in the painting is correct but there is some info that might be useful. http://www.denschofield.com/Taos%20Trapper%20-1.htm (http://www.denschofield.com/Taos%20Trapper%20-1.htm)
