About this product

Product Information

Born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1902, Nudie Cohn built an impeccable reputation as one of the most sought after clothiers in Los Angeles... all on a few sparkly G-strings. Nudie the Rodeo Tailor tells the unbelievable story of Nudie and Bobbie Cohn and the legendary fashion legacy they created. Nudie Cohn's first store (Nudie's for the Ladies, New York City) featured those famous and lavishly ornamented G-strings and stage costumes, and allowed him to build a reputation as a master tailor with a taste for the flashy. After a few years, Nudie turned his attention to making western clothing, and became the first person to incorporate rhinestones into cowboy dress. It was the $10,000 gold suit that Nudie made for Elvis Presley that rocketed Nudie to stardom and cemented his status in fashion history; Nudie would go on to design clothing for Dale Evans and Roy Rogers, Elton John, Gene Autry, John Wayne, John Lennon, Steve McQueen, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, and the rock groups America and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Nudie blurred the boundaries of fashion and cast a far-reaching influence over the clothing worn in country music, rock music, movies, and television. Nudie the Rodeo Tailor chronicles the life of the man who epitomizes the American Dream itself, with an amazing selection of photographs of suits, clothing, accessories, and of Nudie himself with the hundreds of clients and friends he made through the years. Nudie the Rodeo Tailor is the most comprehensive and handsome book on Nudie Cohn and his clothing ever created-a long overdue testament to his spirit and talent. Jamie Lee Nudie was born to Barbara Cohn and Sun Studio-sensation Jimmy Wilson in North Hollywood, California. The granddaughter of Nudie and Bobbie grew up in Nudie's Rodeo Tailors, greeting the stars and clientele with the same friendly persona. Jamie is a mother of three children living in the San Fernando Valley, caring for her grandmother Bobbie Nudie and working on many projects pertaining to the Nudie legacy.Mary Lynn Cabrall was born in Castro Valley, California, and has always dreamed of becoming a cowgirl. She learned leather tooling, and her interest in vintage clothing led her to start mimicking Nudie suits. Mary Lynn later acquired a sixty-year-old chain-stitch embroidery machine, and she took up the art of machine embroidery. Today Mary Lynn and Jamie Lee work to re-create the Nudie magic. Leatherwork, silverwork, embroidery, rhinestones, and the best rodeo tailoring money can buy can be still be ordered from Nudie's Rodeo Tailors.

NUDIE, THE RODEO TAILOR
If you like BLING, if you like cowboys, if you like Country Western, if you like movie and singing stars, if you like a rags to riches story, then this book is for you! It is FULL of pictures and has a nice easy (and at times funny) reading style. This true story is very inspiring and I only wish I had been one of the many who met the man and his wife. I have never seen one of his creations up close but the photos are enough to make me get out my sewing machine and rhinestone setter and get creative. Thank you Jamie Lee and Mary Lynn for allowing us a peek at such wonderful people.

Nudie: The Rodeo Tailor
A poor immigrant boy with an American vision. It wasn't just country & western stars wearing his suits, but it was a start. Nudie (Nuta Kotlyarenko) once said "Someday your going to eat my dust" and he was right. In 1957 he made a gold lame suit for Elvis that cost $10,000.00 and the list just got better. Rolling stones, Cher,ZZ top, and how about the oldies if you'll old enough to remember Rex Allen, Gene Autrey, Porter Wagner,Little Jimmy Dickens, & a host of celebrities that would make your head spin. This is a book with a blast from the past & photos to make you reminisce of days gone by. Who would have guessed that a poor little Russian boy who rose to world wide recognition, but a boy with vision.

This book is really enjoyable for the great costume pictures and the amazing journey of this man from immigrant to Hollywood and his career as "the rodeo tailor." I was vaguely aware of this man before I bought the book but I had no idea of just how many people he created outfits for. I originally bought the book looking for rare pix of Gram Parsons. I didn't find them but I found a wonderful story and a new awareness of just how many divergent people this man created works of art for. My personal favorites are the pix on pg 18 of Mr Cohn and family in costume with a lovely little peke at their feet and pg 94 Mrs Cohn in a really beautiful dress. Buy this book you will learn something you didn't expect. Carolyn Hoyt

Great photos and well designed layout.
Excellent history of Nudie. Having met him in Hollywood and giving us a ride in one of his vehicles in the sixties it brought back many memories. My father was a good friend of Nudie who was his tailor in his early days in Minnesota.
