there is absolutely no way to make a cowboy hat look like anything other than over compensation and/or larping

>>15045554
Objectively wrong

Just be a stocky middle-aged man in Europe. Those guys really fucking love LARPing as cowboys for some reason.

>>15045605
Don’t be a faggot

Live in The South or The West
Have a manual labor job
No other steps necessary, you'll stumble into cowboy core as you buy clothing and equipment needed for your work

>>15045678
Quit telling me to uproot my whole life, I just want advice on clothes

>>15045704
No, you want advice on how to dress like a cowboy without looking like an insane person.
That requires two things: first, living in an area where dressing like a cowboy is normal and expected.
Second, a lifestyle that will justify dress ling like a cowboy so your clothing doesn't look like a costume. There's nothing more painfully LARP than pristine workwear.

This man doesn't live in the midwest

>>15045715
No I want advice on clothes. Give me advice on clothes or I’ll fucking kill you.

>>15045722
>How do I dress like a cowboy nowadays without looking like an insane person?
were your exact words.

>>15045721
>the midwest
lmfao, what kind of cowboys do you have there? Basedbean farmers that eat tv dinners? cowboys have always been a western and southwestern thing.

>>15045728
Because I was looking for advice on clothing you fucking retard

>>15045728

>I’d like a kinda laid back look influenced by the Wild West. Any advice on colors, styles, brands, and even specific articles of clothing to get are welcome
Were my exact words

>>15045730
And just how do you think those cowboys got all the way out west in the first place?
Airplane?

>>15045510
You may want to consider this kind of a cowboy hat, as an option that serves as either an addition or an alternative to the heavily side-curled cattleman's crease cowboy hat in your picture. This picture I show depicts a very typical 1860s through early 1900s style cowboy hat, the first style made by the Stetson hat company exclusively meant to be made for the cowboy and rancher occupation, maybe also farmers or other outdoorsman, or even dudes (city folk dandies that were basically cowboy wannabes, as the term meant, back in the late 19th century). I think the flatter brim might look less obviously modern cowboy to most people, although the hat is not going to be seen as a fedora or similar narrower brim dress hat, either. Another option is the Stetson Open Road hat, which looks like the OP picture hat, but narrower brimmed, and a much less dramatic brim curl (it starts out new with the brim up all around at an even appearance, with just around 2 3/4 inches width, and a 4 or 4 1/2 inch crown height).

>>15045738
How do I dress like a cowboy nowadays without looking like an insane person?
Was your question.
"live a lifestyle that justifies it, in a place that embraces it" is the answer. Otherwise you will just look like an insane person.

Throwing a hissy fit because you don't like the answer only makes you that much less likely to pull it off, by the way.

Luke rockholds' Montana look was great, light blue Jean's tucked into brown roping boots, white button up with a brown jacket and a gold Rolex.

You are acting like a crazy person anyway, which clothing won't fix.

Here is what an Open Road hat looks like, made by Stetson. This hat goes with pretty much almost anything, from casual to even formal wear.

I can if he wants to look like anything other than a faggot LARPer.

>>15045794
I feel like you’re looking at this too binary. There’s NO other option besides looking like an insane faggot larper or working a manuel labor job in the west?
Cause there’s this guy in my hometown, kinda looks like Doug Dimmadome, and he does look like an insane faggot larper, nor does he work a manual labor job. It’s an alright look

lol imagine being a crying little bitch

>>15045797
Fucking hell that should be “doesn’t look like an insane faggot larper” lmao. I meant the opposite of what I wrote

>>15045797
Aight but is it a look that can be pulled off by a shrieking autist? No, no it is not.
He'll need to put effort in to overcome his autism.

I am not the poster you responded to, but western wear is quite a bit popular among Mexicans and Mexican Americans. They seem to be the demographic most likely to just put on a cowboy hat and boots, around where I live, whereas the White Americans here seem to have lost that kind of idea, except just a few outliers that wear clothing like that.

Fucking hell, I wanted advice on where to get nice western style shirts like pic related, but this thread might be unsalvageable
Should I just make a new thread?

>>15045833
The Stetson and Resistol companies, in addition to making hats, also make western wear shirts. I am trying to help out, OP. Don't mind the people that dislike or hate the style. Ariat is another company I can think of, and if you search for "western wear shirt," or "cowboy shirt," you will be able to see a lot of them on the web for sale, on various sites. Sheplers is a good website to find those shirts, and is a site used by the western wear crowd, largely. I bought my Stetson Open Road hat from that site, too, and they have good return and exchange policies, based on that first hat, which had noticeable problems, and I got a brand new one without flaws and no charge!

>>15045852
wow thanks anon, you're actually very helpful

>>15045921
You're welcome! I know that website sells cowboy boots, as well as the shirts, hats, pants, and probably belts and other things. For a palm straw hat, I recommend Sunbody hats.

>not using las picudas

>>15045510
Okay, I live in a city (relatively small) surrounded by farms and ranches. Here are the low key elements I see daily that you could incorporate.
>blue jeans. sold cotton ones. no fake fading bs, just solid cotton straight leg.
>always tuck your shirt in. idk if its a t-shirt, tuck it in.
>wear long sleeve button up shirts. if its hot, roll the sleeves up.
>plain brown leather belt always.
>cowboy boots with pant leg over them. Dont tuck it in you will look try hard as you are not actually in an area where this visual makes sense (i assume). also opt for square toe not pointed toe. Again this is more because it will help you look less larpy as again, I'm guessing you don't live somewhere it makes functional sense otherwise.
>most everyone wears a hat of some kind. Cowboy hats are common here, but will likely look try-hard and silly on you. Opt for a baseball hat. Or I guess you could go wider brimmed fedora, but that might also look cringe. you decide.
>fiber content matters. Choose natural fibers. Cotton, linen, wool. This makes a suprising visual difference and makes what you are wearing look function and not purely fashionable.
>steer clear of overtly graphic labels bright colors. keep it neutral

>>15046262
>Or I guess you could go wider brimmed fedora, but that might also look cringe. you decide.
There is always the kind of fedora-cowboy hat in-between hat, the Open Road, as seen in this post below. There's also the kind of hat that might be seen on Civil War reenactors, who wear hats that are not as wide as cowboy hats often are, but are still different from fedoras.

Cowboy larp

>>15045786
Itd be funny to see who gets more mad, a hypebeast that gets his sneaks dtepped on and scuffed or a cowboy wesring these boots who also gets stepped on and scuffed? Who do you think would lose their shit more?

>>15047071
One ends in an autistic shitfit being thrown, the other ends in a showdown at high noon.
Equal in their outcomes and savagery, but very different in the field of finesse.

>>15046463
yeah good call.

Anybody got recommendations for a cowboy worthy jacket?

>>15045510
you should watch/read midnight cowboy if you haven't already

>>15048747
it gave me feels of disgust
and I generally don't liek that stuffy era

it smells of mothballs

>>15045721
bro you posted cringe

>>15045510
If you don't have a southern, Texan, or Mexican accent, it will inevitably come across as a cringy LARP. Based on this thread, that won't really have a negative impact on the way people see you, so knock yourself out.
I wear Western wear a good bit and would have helped you, but I'm glad I read the thread before responding. I won't tell you where to buy Western wear or what's good because I know with 100% certainty that you'll just fag it up and I'd prefer you not dress like me. I also don't want to reward your faggotry. These other anons' fruity advice seems to have been more your speed anyway. Have a nice day, OP. Maybe if that anon you were arguing with fucks your mom you'll get the father figure you're clearly missing.
>>15045786
Unless it's snakeskin or a similarly fragile exotic, it would take a significant act of violence to scuff boots in a way that would get a reaction from someone. If someone deliberately stomped the shit out of someone's boot, they might get drawn on lol. I have had people step on my boots (and mine aren't even work wear mind you) and it didn't matter for shit, but I had my mother in law's dogs stomp muddy, scratchy paws on my brand new tennis shoes and I about lost it.
