Do you like wearing Western Clothing, as in (perhaps) Wrangler jeans, Resistol or Wrangler Straw/Felt cowboy hat, round-toed cowboy boots? Do you like going to Western events and watching Western tv shows?

Even though we will wear shorts most of the time in the summer, for boating, etc., when it comes to going to a rodeo, or other Western event, we both wear Wrangler brand jeans, Resistol or Wrangler brand hats and Roper brand Lace-Up boots. When we can, we love to go to two local country-western steakhouses/saloons for a nice dinner and listen to a good band. We have many rodeo pictures and pictures of old Western tv show stars and even pictures of "The Old West" cowboys and Indian Chiefs.

Years ago, I was involved with professional rodeo as a Team Roper (header) owned to Quarter Horses and was with AQHA. Love to watch a good Cutting or Reining Show.
 

Western boots were in style, very briefly, here in the big city, in the mid-60's. I had a pair. They were very comfortable. I even wore them to the office with mini-skirts/dresses.
 
Yes, yes, yes. Everything western, especially western art.
I own a few western shirts, though no place to wear them where I live.
And I have 2 cowboy hats I don't wear because they are leather heavy.
Cowboy music. I went to many such bars, clubs for years but none remain where I live
and I dislike the dancing. They were popular in 70s-90s. Most
country music fans are beer drinkers and do not spend the money that bars want.
Some western movies (Glenn Ford, Lee Van Cleef) and western novels of Louis L'Amour.
 
Have collections of antiques livestock brand books, huge collection of Western books, old 1920's high back saddles, antique bits and antiques. Grew up in Mile City, Montana watched rodeos my whole life, bucking horse sale my whole life,. My Grandfather owned a horse ranch in Montana.
Married a ole Nevada buckeroo who was a Western lawman of the finest. We had Throughbreds on our ranch in Colorado. Oh, and i do Western art too. So, i guess it's a little part of who I am.

When I met my wife in early 2000, she loved wearing both her felt and straw cowboy hats. She had just graduated from a square dance class. She was really into Line Dancing, 2-Step and had been to a few rodeos. After meeting me, she went to numerous rodeos, in the Sierra-turned-California Circuit that I was in. All of the rodeos were in So California. She fit into the Timed Event/ "rodeo family" very fast and learned the rodeo lingo that I already knew. She learned a lot about Rough Stock riding as well.

What was so funny is, nobody in her family, or really even mine, knew a thing about rodeo and cared less.

Have never been to it, but I know about the Bucking Horse Sale each year in Miles City, Montana. Since my event was Team Roping, I knew very few rough stock riders. I have been to Bozeman and Billings, Montana. Have been at the Stockyards in Billings as well as in Western Oklahoma (OKC West) and the huge one in Oklahoma City.

I've been a Horseback Trail Guide for a Regional Park in So. California, went to a Roping School in Norco, California and went to Jackpot Ropings in Riverside, California. I know about USTRC and helped with high school rodeo.

Wife and I are yearly members of the PRCA Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs. We know World Champions, like Trevor Brazil, Cody Ohl, Mike Beers, Fred Whitfield, Charmayne James, Dee Pickett and others. Have met Charlie Sampson, Walt Garrison and Larry Mahan.

Yes, both of us absolutely love rodeo and Western stuff!
 
One of the reasons we are living back in Colorado again..........much, much more rodeo action and Western stuff than Florida. Unfortunately, it only took us 10 1/2 years to figure that out! LOL
We really like going, before the virus hit that is, to Centennial Livestock Auction in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Look very forward to going back and watching on auction day again.
 
I used to have some western style shirts in my late teens/early 20's. I've had a few cowboy hats for Burning Man but they've either had elwire on them or zip ties sticking outwards.

My hubby still wears a cowboy hat and for several years after we were married our living room,dining room and family room was all western decor.
We love classic country music but mostly western. We attended all the fairs where the country singers of our time played. Went horse back riding or I should say the hubby did,I just hung on.
Certainly New Jersey isn't popular for western music but we still enjoy our old recorded music.
My decor has changed over the years but our country, western mind set has stayed the same.
 
Well, one thing for sure, this definitely isn't a forum where people who are interested, or even like, Western stuff hang out. There are those that will dress Western, to go to a nightclub, but that's it. No interest in anything else. Heck, there are even those that will wear regular city clothes and go to a country-western restaurant/nightclub. That would be like wearing Western clothes and attending a regular opry or walking down the middle of New York City!
Anyway, I really have no idea, now, why I even done the thread! LOL

I'm kind of one of those people, but while attending alternative/indie clubs as opposed to western clubs. I generally wear what I normally wear most places I go. I will wear something I'd wear to work or on vacation. I've never been part of a scene or a group that has a particular look. I'm there for the music and am comfortable doing so without looking like I'm there for the music.

The one time I do dress up is when I'm going to something where formal clothing is the norm. I enjoy putting on a tie and a jacket or a suit and tie from time to time to attend something special. Interestingly enough and related to this thread I've seen people attend formal events in western style formal clothing. A bolo tie and a western style shirt and if needed a western style formal jacket looks good.
 
There are no pants but Levies and Wranglers.
Slacks, what for-church maybe,
Nope, bluejeans as some folks call them is the item of choice.
