During the 1800’s men started to wear cotton tunics with a leather belt fastened around the waist. They wore long-legged high, boot-like moccasins made of soft leather. The hair of Apache men always hung loose, it was never braided. In times of mourning their hair was cut horizontally just above the shoulder line. The traditional headdress worn by the Apache were simple cloth or leather headbands which they placed rather low on the head to keep the hair from the eyes. The early headbands consisted of a band braided from the long leaves of the yucca, but were replaced by cloth headbands, often red in color. (Information from Apache Tribe)
