Una de las características principales de los mariachis y charros es sin duda su vestimenta, esos elegantes trajes que dan identidad y porte, y aunque se creería que enfundarse en un traje charro es lo mismo que vestirse de mariachi, existen grandes diferencias.

In both cases, the suits serve as the main working tool for their carriers as they are a particular hallmark of these professions.

The suits of both are made up of three essential pieces: vest, jacket and trousers, as well as costumes such as bow or tie, boots and of course the hat.

Differences:

Chars

The charra dress must be attached to the formality, with thick fabrics that can cushion any fall or incident during the job.

They also have specific measures such as the tie'to make', 1.47 cm long by seven or 13 cm wide, so that the garment can function as a tourniquet of the reins of the horse if they break when playing the national sport of the charrería.

Usually they do not carry bowls but embroidery, either in canutillo or with thread with a percentage of silver or embroidery by hand and mostly for reasons of the work of the field that goes from horseshoes, horses, bulls and engraved the initials of whoever carries it.

The hat of the charro needs to function as a helmet at the moment of riding and finally, the boots must be of neutral colors and without polish.

Mariachis

While the attire of a mariachi musician is even freer and decorative; for example, the tie of the musical performer is in line with the style he tries to project.

The biggest difference is that these suits if they wear boots on the pants; they are 30 on the side of each leg, and three on each sleeve of the jacket, usually carry musical motifs such as lire, guitars or owls, bird related to the arts and music.

The mariachi hat does not provide security and is characterized by a glass with two depressions on the sides, while the booty of mariachi is usually of the tonality chosen by the musician for his dress, and may even be charol.
