Cowboys don't squat with their spurs on for obvious reasons. But they
learned the hard way not to crouch too close to the campfire while
wearing a California company's most famous peice of cowboy gear. Tell
me what was removed from the gear to cool everybody off.

Hi kdl5720,

The rivets were removed from the jeans.

"Jeans were invented by Levi Strauss (not a Texan).  They were adopted
by cowboys with a couple of modifications.  Original jeans had rivets
at all the stress points.  The rivets in the back pockets were removed
to prevent damage to the saddle.  Those same rivets are hell on the
hood of your pick-up too.  The crotch rivet was removed as a result of
discomfort while squatting near a campfire."
