For a western-themed party, cut out the thigh areas of old blue jeans and sew them into placemats. Be sure to keep the pockets intact and sew them on the placemat for the insertion of silverware.
sounds easy enough when it comes to laundering them! thanks! a more faded pair of jeans could be used to make fringe -- cut a strip of whatever length you it & then hand cut the fringe -1/4" or 1/2" or so up to about 3/4" seam allowance & sew into the hem of the placemat - i made circular 2 sided fringed denim hot mats once is why i know :)

That is a great idea! Along with the blue jean placemats, I would get the men's red print hankerchiefs to use for the napkins.
