The Mexican Western may also be referred to as the "Charro Western." This name comes from the one given to professional Mexican horse riders. The name is also applied to Mexican vaqueros, outlaws, bandits, revolutionaries, and bounty hunters. All these characters are tied together by two important features: their exceptional horse-riding ability and a specific kind of fashion they wore. Charro fashion includes a traditional charro suit and a ”sombrero de charro.” These Westerns mostly come from Mexico and are Spanish-language films. They revolve around any number of the character types, listed earlier, that can be referred to as Charro. The narratives, themes, and characters found here mirror those from classic Westerns.
