A real cowboy takes the hat off indoors.

At Texas A&M you won't get ten seconds inside a building without someone politely but very forcefully telling you that you are being disrespectful wearing a hat inside.

Jesus tipping Mary, thank you! The hat was specifically to keep the sun off my face, out of my eyes, and the rain from running down my neck. As a fashion statement, I hate it. The 'rodeo' near me has so many dipshits rocking it because they think it makes them look the part, and meanwhile they're on the third topo chico and sweating in the indoor AC.

I want a straw cowboy hat for work. My boonies hat works well, but it's too damned hot. Know where I can get a solid deal?

[–] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 3 points 19 hours ago

I just get the cheap ones from any of the hardware stores. I had a nice one for work when it was a role that was for a local government and I had to meet with folks outdoors, but if it's just for dirty work then the cheap stuff will last for long enough. Most of my hats were ruined by mechanical intervention before they wore out.

A cowboy once told me, that you can spot a fake by how clean their hat is.

Since (so he told me) in case a bull had an episode, they would throw their hat in the other direction and climb over the corral fence. The bull would often go after the hat.

Maybe they have a second hat for "not work" aka partying.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Many do, same for boots. Though the non work hat is likely older and worn in.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh that's interesting, so they save the best hat for work.... I would assume the opposite except safety things.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

No it’s more the fun hat does not need to be replaced, so it gets worn in more. It could also be sentimental like your first cowboy hat or your fathers hat.

Is he even a cowboy if he doesn't put his hat over his heart and address a woman as "ma'am"

I guess cowbiy is different to everyone but to me you lost the Cowboy at the entering of a coffee shop. Various reasons, 1 being it's cheaper at home, and 2 being that the last cowboy I knew made $35k a year, so he couldn't afford a coffee shop

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Is they really even a cowboy if it's not made in a percolator over a campfire?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I make the same amount and I can concur; the only time I drink coffee is when I get it for free at work.

Tips ten gallon "M'aam"
