I'm a social-worker in Germany and I wear a Stetson Rancher, a Stetson Skyline, a Stetson Open Road, a Stetson Gunfighter and many more Cowby Hats because I love this styles and the life is too short to ashame of it! I love your statement! It is mine!

I went to Arizona 5 years ago end i found a huge store where sales cowboy hats , I felt I was in heaven. God bless America.

I do love cowboy hats too. And I respect people who wears them all the time.

Years ago I used to wear a cowboy hat in high school because it was a fad….later in life, I lived in Texas and wore a resistol straw cowboy hat on occasion …but it’s now been 17 years forward and I live in an area of the country where it’s not so common to see cowboy hats. Just turned 60 and I think it’s time to put the baseball caps away and start wearing brimmed hats again. My Stetson Open Road is a good transition hat. I can wear it with anything without looking too out of place. I’d like to get a felt cattleman or cutter style hat but don’t know if I can pull it off without wearing cowboy boots (even though I own a couple pairs)

Amen brother

The hat looks good on you! I've worn hats all my life, but only this year did I start wearing wide-brim, Australian outback/cowboy hats and fedoras. Why? Because I like them. That's the only reason we need. I love mine.

Screw the haters. People wear a lot more stupid things than cowboy hats and not get comments. They are just hating because they don't have the confidence to pull it off. I wear my cowboy hats almost daily in the heart of Los Angeles. I don't care that people look, and when you get down to it, I get compliments 9 out of 10x if not more. Also a lot of people here do own cowboy hats but just don't wear them or admit to it for some reason but they do love the look.

Couldn’t you have put the dog out of the room while recording? Barking doesn’t help understanding your instructions.👎🏻

Hi my friend I live in England and I always wear a cowboy hat. People know me well and some think and some believe that I'm a real cowboy. Maybe I am Maybe I'm not? So I'll let them be the judge of that. To where a cowboy hat because you want to is the very best reason of all. And it really does suit you and I would love you to make a video of all your hat's. I'll keep a look out for that. NICE ONE MY GOOD FRIEND. 👍

I have several cowboy hats, from Mexican palm Stetson to a 4xxxx Resistol I reshaped into one like Walt Longmire wears. I even imported a horsehair hat band the same as his. I live in Britain and full on western style hats don’t sort of fit in. The few people who do wear them everyday are treated with suspicion. My compromise is to wear Akubra Australian felt hats. I reshape them with steam and they are ideal in our wet winter weather, for the reasons you outlined in the video. I’ve been someone who’s dressed in a western style since the beginning of the 1970s & I wore Wrangler denim shirts before they became a 70s fashion item. I wear cowboy boots all the time and rarely wear ordinary shoes. Thanks for your video, I wish I had the chutzpah to wear my Resistol, but I’ll reserve that for trips to the SW & W USA. 😉🤠

Asian in California, I wear a cowboy hat and I get all good compliments. I even brought my straw hat to Hawaii on vacation and them folks out there were loving it. Planning on sporting my hat and boots to my wife's home country in Vietnam later this year too 🤠

Thank you, im sick of hat snobs thinking i have to show Bootbarn a title to prove i own a ranch and horses to own a hat. Its always people that have nothing to do with the culture nor from the south that want to gatekeep and police my choice of hats. Yet i have friends who are real country guys that grew up working in farms dont care and like that i wear one. I live in Los Angeles, i get plenty of compliments but once in a while a critic that i mentioned the bootbarn thing. Im a latino in my 20s and i get a lot of compliments from old Hispanic immigrant men and other races. To be honest the compliments out number the rare critics that make fun of me. I actually get women checking me out and flirting when i go to bars and concerts. Mainly white women, i guess they like Hispanic guys in hats LOL. There was one time i had this kim Kardashian wannabe with fake boobs and butt laugh at my hat, she just kept trying and trying to get under my skin and even tried to get her boyfriend into it but i didn't give her the attention and he said "babe hes clearly not amused".

I wear one every day myself. In NC you see them fairly often but it still stands out. I am a fair skin bald guy and I use it as a way to keep the sun off my head. I love them and feel naked without it. I wear straw hats in the warm months and felts in the cooler months. I used to be slightly self conscious too but after wearing them for years, I look at people and wonder where their hats are 🙂 Take care brother and keep enjoying good hats!

Fishing season? Son, if the water is wet it's fishing season.

On my 4th now.. I first thought.. ugh straw.. never.... That ended up being my 2nd hat and now I love em! Cali here and most do not wear em but that is fine. I have never been one to conform.

NO STEP ON SNEK!

Nice video!

There it is, this man knows what's up.

Started sporting western wear late in life. I love it so much that I got rid of all of my old clothes. Lots of history and choices. I now wear a hat and cowboy boots everyday.

I’m with ya……wear what makes ya happy!

Im gonna wear my western hat n boots no matter where i live im no cowboy by any means just a country boy that Does mountain man things you dont have to work with cattle or be on a ranch or farm or part of a rodeo trust me its a Mindset. Should people wear ball caps those where Invented in the 1860's

I'm on the fence. I dont have one yet. But i want one. Im probably going to get a straw vented cowboy hat. Cody James is more likely. The summer in Central California is HOT. Plus, i have a stigmatism so my eyes are sensitive to sunlight. So my uo coming purchase of a cowboy hat will be my 1st. I'm 51 years young 😅

The boots look so comfortable thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

There good but the molasses will rot your teeth out quick

Isn't cosplaying great - I wear Indiana Jones hats. They make me feel tough, like this "COWBOY MINDSET" person below

i am Indian and no way related to america still love and wear cowboy hats 😝

Idk if I’m confident enough to wear one or have the right excuse as to why I’m like you I’m not a farmer I’m from a city in Ohio and I have a few friends that would definitely judge me and a few older guy friends who wear them I took a fancy too the style but unfortunately I’m self conscious myself about the way people look at me

As a Texan, thats the best reason to wear it.

I realize this video is 5 years old but since I just now watched I thought I would comment anyway. I like your reason for wearing a cowboy hat and I agree. I live in West Texas but I am not a rancher or farmer nor do I own a horse. I live in the city. But, I have experienced a similar yet different thing in that although I do own a couple of cowboy hats and wear them some, I also have several fedoras and wear them a lot, and around here I get the looks and the grins because not many wear fedoras. Cowboy hats and baseball caps are what most men around here wear. If you are wearing one of those you fit right in but if you wear a fedora you stick out like a sore thumb. But like you, I don’t let it bother me. I just wear what I like and what I want too. Some days it’s a fedora and some days it’s a cowboy hat. Good video. Thanks.

I grew up on a cattle farm in South West Louisiana. I hated cowboy hats when I was a kid. Im 56 years old now and where a cowboy hat. Lmao Stetson by the way. Lol

Ohio here, love my outback and Gambler hats. Anybody dont like it? Oh well.

I front a Country band in Milwaukee and I also work in the city. I'm lucky enough to be able to wear my hats and cowboy boots to my desk job. You're right after a while the reactions are just funny. I've also become like a walking billboard for my band in the city. It's become, "who is that tall guy decked out in western wear, and a cowboy hat constantly walking around in the heart of the downtown area".

my best reason for wearing a cowboy hat. cause i like them

Hardly a Cowboy hat in Michigan. I like the boots and the hats not the belt buckles.

Im from the UK and i wear a cowboy hat. I know I aint no cowboy but i love the fit and functionality of it. I've always been a fan of western wear and like you say - I wear it because I want to!! Great video too.

They are a BootBarn brand. If you by Cody James from them you get a 30 day comfort guarantee no questions asked. The Cody James brand has a one year from purchase warranty one time replacement. I wear them about 8 months or so and when the sole cracks, I clean them off bit and they give me another pair. So basically it’s like buying two pairs for the price of one. That’s with any Cody James boots bought at BootBarn.

You rock the cowboy hat and to Hell with what other folks may say!!

The mint is really good

I’m from Puerto Rico and I use different hat, the people look me weird but I don’t care.

And why Is this in-person nonsense necessary? other states have everything ONLINE what a fucking waste of time.

Great beard! Love the review. I'm going to start my journey to Tabacco free life. Been chewing on and off for a chunk of my life. Need a change and better living in the new year!!

Sometimes I'll wear my wool Ruana cloak out and get TONS of looks, but I want to wear it!

Nice. Agreed. I been wearing stetson resistol and bailey for 30 yrs. I just bought an Akubra. For less money it is a great quality hat

We’re bringing back masculinity

I wear cowboy hats,. I’m a registered nurse in California .

I live in Maryland my uncle made the journey 4 yrs ago and he left me a cowboy hat it was too big for me and i never felt like i was the cowboy hat type. Well i finally got it resized back in september but never wore it one day i was talking with my other uncle who wears a cowboy hat and boots every day he told me i needed boots so i went to Cowboys and angel boutique in sykesville md in october and bought some i saw a hat and i put it on loved it and have worn it ever since

thats why i wear a cowboy hat, simply because i want to, and theres nothing wrong with that.
