"Roy Rogers  One of the few 'Kings of the Cowboys', this typical authentic costume was worn by Roy Rogers. He is best known for his television theme song 'Happy Trails', which was written by his wife Dale Evans.  Star of more than 90 feature-length Westerns and more than 100 half-hour T.V. shows, Rogers remains one of the most beloved figures in show business."
