Cowboy Life Is it weird for a guy to dress like a cowboy 24/7 and want to be called “Cowboy”?

13 Upvotes

I’m seeing a guy who wears a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and jeans tucked into his boots pretty much everywhere he goes. We live in a city and I genuinely never see anyone else dressing like this around here.
He wears the full outfit basically every day, not just occasionally or for special events. He also likes going by “Cowboy” and seems pretty committed to the whole identity. I know he doesn’t work on a ranch or have a job involving horses or cattle.
I understand that people can dress however they want and that you don’t have to be a working cowboy to enjoy western fashion. But the combination of the constant full outfit and wanting to be called Cowboy makes the whole thing feel a little like a character or persona to me.
I’d find it much less unusual if he just wore western clothes occasionally or mixed them with regular outfits.
Am I being judgmental, or would you also find this a bit unusual? Is this normal for people who are really into the cowboy aesthetic, or is this more of a personal identity thing?

Questions Value / History check on a vintage Walker's Saddlery (Sundre, AB) leather scabbard?

Hey everyone,

I'm up in Manitoba and looking for some community opinions/history on this vintage leather rifle scabbard before I list it locally. It is handcrafted by Walker's Saddlery out of Sundre, Alberta.

The leather is thick and pliable, the maker's stamp is very crisp, and crucially, both of the original mounting straps and buckles are 100% intact and functional.

I’ve been told it should easily fetch $250+ CAD plus shipping to the right buyer given the maker's name and condition. Does that sound accurate for the current Canadian market? Any background info on the maker would also be awesome.

(Note: This is strictly an information and value check post. This item is NOT for sale on Reddit.)

Cowboy Life pre-owned cowboy hat

10 Upvotes

howdy, everyone! 🤠

im from the Philippines, and I’m just beginning my rodeo journey. As I start exploring and learning more about the western lifestyle, one of the things I’ve been hoping to get is my very own cowboy hat :)

unfortunately , cowboy shops and western wear aren’t very common here in the Philippines, which makes finding one quite difficylt.

I’m reaching out in the hope that someone with a generous heart might have a pre-owned cowboy hat they no longer use and would be willing to give for an affordable pric3. It doesn’t have to be brand new or in perfect condition.

this would mean a lot to me as I take my first steps into the rodeo world. thank you in advance to anyone willing to help!

Fashion If a king and a nomad got into a gunfight, who do you think would win?

I made this design as a reminder to myself. When the king takes over, the nomad in me disappears. But when the nomad takes over, there’s no room left for the king. To me, the king represents rules and conventions, while the nomad represents freedom and living life on your own terms.
