Why do you dress like a cowboy?

A few folks have commented on my attire over the past few months. I think that's a legitimate query, so I decided to let folks know why my garb looks the way it does.

One of my favorite things about this video is all the comments from people who think the title is something they are supposed to answer.

I dress like a cowboy because it’s cool

Cowboy boots in the desert are also practical. They have a measure of protection against snake bite.

You dress like you do cause you are American man! You don't need to give reasons why. Just be yourself.

Someone once asked me why I dress like such a hillbilly. I said, "................. because I'm a hillbilly."

I dress like a cowboy because...I own a farm and have to administrate it.

[@sojourn1544]

I dress like a cowboy because I can afford the gun, the hat, the holster, the spurs, the boots, all cost a lot of money, and not everyone can't afford it....and every man that is not dressed like a cowboy sure wishes he had the balls and or money to do so.....

As I see it, you don't really need a special reason to dress as a cowboy other than the fact that you like western wear and love the cowboy look. Whether you're male or female, if you've always identified with the old westerns of yesteryear (who hasn't?), then that's all the reason it should be to dress as you see fit. The cowboy is the American symbol of independence, strength, and the will to do what's right. So cowboy/cowgirl up!

I dress western. I was a cowboy now I’m old old so I still dress western.

I guess I am a cowboy. I'm on horseback as many days as not. I'm always doing "ranch" stuff. Not all of us cowboys dress like traditional cowboys. I do, because I like it and every item, boots, hat and even the gun are items I never leave the house without. They're all practical, and really, just part of the tools of the trade. As for non-cowboys who like the look, I say go for it! Beats the hell out of wearing your pajama pants to town with a ball cap backwards on your head, like we all see so much.

"Because I can"

[@CaseTeamAngel]

LOL "Why do you dress like a <fill in the blank>"

[@TRPufnStuf]

"Because I can". I love it.

I'm a city boy from the Nevada desert, I dress " country " because its comfortable and looks nice. I wear a cowboy hat at work and around town in the summer because I work outside a lot of the time and it's hot as balls. I just love the country sense of respect, plus it's not uncommon to see ranchers out here. And yes, damn near all of us carry a firearm lol.

[@RedefineLiving]

"Because I can" enough said! You should think about some pull on boots out there. A rattle snake can bite right through those things on your feet haha

I'm 60 and for the better part of 55 years I've been dressing in western apparel. It all started back in 1965 when I turned 5 and got my first set of white pearl handle single action six shooters and gun belt. I was hooked. Today 55 years later my EDC is a 1873 45 Colt Single Action Peacemaker with a 7-1/2" barrel.

I like how American national-clothing is just normal clothing. You know, I couldn't just wear my country's national-clothing as everyday clothing.

I dress like a cowboy because I love the lifestyle I wanna own a ranch when I grow up

[@peanut5053]

I grew up in New Jersey and I used to where stuff like this minus the boots more like a plaid shirt and jeans. After Freshman year I started wearing sneakers and regular shirts. Now that I have my own money I think I want to start dressing different. Plaid shirts jeans and some cowboy boots might get the hat to just for fun. personally I see nothing wrong with the style it looks nice.

[@coff33guy80]

I find when i wear a cowboy hat with almost anything
