Easy Rider, a 1969 road movie depicts two bikers named Wyatt, nicknamed ‘Captain America’ (Peter Fonda), and Billy (Dennis Hopper) who travel through the American Southwest and South and experience its land and people.
Wyatt dresses in American flag-adorned leather, while Billy dresses in Native American-style buckskin pants and shirts and a bushman hat.
