I ride horses a couple of times a year. The wife has been training and riding horses for awhile. Riding horses isn’t my favorite past time but I do appreciate boots when I ride. It keeps the dirt from getting into your shoes when walking. I only wear a cowboy hat when it’s sunny out since it shields your full head. But for the most part it’s boots, t shirt and baseball hat when riding horses for most I know.

Well, told my wife that I wanted a Chevy or GMC dually.

My wife said that if I buy one, she’ll make me wear boots and chaps (sometimes with arse-less)
Changed my mind. I’d look ridiculous in cowboy boots.

Why do people dress like Wookiees when they go to Star Wars conventions?

You’re just jealous that you don’t have a starched Mo Betta shirt to wear.

Folks should just go everywhere in their underwear, that's how they're most comfy right?

I’m glad. It’s ok for country acts to dress that way again.

OP could ask the same of country bars.

Urban Cowboy did the same shite in 1983 when I was a kid, and it never really went away until after I was out of the bar/club stage of my life.

Same reason people dress, Gothic for rock concerts, people dress glittery for Taylor Swift concerts, etc.

Women dress up to show up other women. It's a not so subtle competition. Concerts are an opportunity for that.

I don't get it, it is like wearing a costume.

Am I missing something?


No, you're right. It is weird. I find it especially dumb when people outside of Texas wear the gear. I kinda get it in Texas since that is sorta the mecca of cowboy stuff. But people in TN or AL or GA were never cowboys. We were poor share croppers here.

I joke about some on the board, but this is just some people in general, across the planet. I truly don’t understand it. We act like people are committing these acts in our actual living room.
