Where I come from we all - Red, Black & White - wear/wore western/cowboy wear. 'Cause that's just how we rolled. Different parts of the country have different cultural influences that affect how we dress. When Macy's took over Foley's (a Texas chain) the clothing in the men's department changed and became much more "north-east style," which to me looks ridiculous.

If I lived in New England I probably wouldn't be wearing cowboy boots with a suit. But that's what I wear here, 'cause that's what I grew up with. Other than 1 pair of tennis shoes, all I have are cowboy boots and ropers.

Austin has changed over the years. There's still plenty of cowboy boots/ropers, Wranglers and cowboy hats around. But ya don't see actual "western wear" much anymore.

Imho, it isn't what you wear that makes you a poser - it's how you wear it. Everyone can tell the difference between someone who has put on their "cowboy drag" and someone who is wearing it naturally - even if they've never run cattle.

Shoot, where I'm from you don't go to the bathroom in the middle of the night with out your boots. "Cowboy" attire or western wear, is like potatoes to a mid westerner. It's a staple and a must. Gotta keep them critters and the sun off of ya

also i find that the youth that dress in western fashion are more personable and respectful in thier over all attitudes.

agreed.
