The Mexican poncho is a class clothing garment, known by people all around the world. This article talks about where you can buy one as well as historical information on the sarape (or zarape, which it’s infrequently called), which it’s known as in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
They are known for their beautiful and unique designs that are found on them. The color choices are impacted by the region where they are found. Many times the ends are fringed on these garments.

Obviously you can go to Mexico and purchase a poncho. If that’s not something you’re looking to do, here are some other options:

Western or Clint Eastwood Cowboy Poncho
We can’t end this piece without discussing the Clint Eastwood cowboy poncho or otherwise known as the Western poncho. Clint made this popular in the iconic scene in Fistful of Dollars. It is also known as the Spaghetti Western Poncho. As usual, Clint pulls it off as few can. He makes everything look great. Even a poncho.
Personally, I can’t see myself rocking a poncho, but with the practicality and versatility, you get when wearing one I can certainly see why many people opt to wear one. Whether you are hoping to buy one, make one or get one for someone as a gift, there are many options when it comes to obtaining a poncho.
