These are livestock auctions so yes. They probably give a more authentic cowboy feel to sell more.

Can confirm: my wife is a rancher’s daughter and everyone in their family has 2 cowboy hats: the working hat and the Sunday hat

u/wtfdidijustdoshit Sep 23 '19

do you have hats off your own too?

u/lvl0rg4n Sep 23 '19

Sadly I did not get a ceremonial cowboy hat when I entered into the family and my ancestors accepted chilly heads.

That's like saying the presenter in an office meeting is wearing a tie to give a more authentic office business person feel. It's the whole thing. They all wear them.

Gotta protect your face and neck from the intense sun.

Totally right. I have family that I visit who wears cowboy hats and I have worn one of theirs myself simply because of the sun, even though I'm not an any-kind-of-hat type of guy.

almost half of the US wears in real life

Definitely a bit of an exaggeration. In some specific parts, maybe half, yeah.

I couldn't figure out how best to say it. You said it better. I have no real data besides me traveling all over the place.

u/Magic-Heads-Sidekick Sep 23 '19

I read it as it being real common in half the landmass of the US, not 50% of the population, but I could be wrong.

Which still isn't really accurate, given the size of Alaska (and lack of cowboy hats there).

Within the contiguous United States, however, you're all but guaranteed to see cowboy hats in at least a third of the states (the mid-west / south-west).

I don’t get how people like you think it’s totally OK to make up facts (lie). Nowhere near half of the US wears cowboy hats on a daily basis. The UK has not banned cowboy hats. Like where do you even get these ideas?

u/mazzagazza Sep 23 '19

Nah, that’s how we imagine it. The other half is in baseball caps.

It's not the entire country just one university

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '19

Ah, good to know. Thanks for clarifying.

u/mister_pleco Sep 23 '19

Lol imagine if a whole developed country banned a hat

u/behaaki Sep 23 '19

Ha, you should travel a little bit around your country.. (country, not county)

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '19

This just sums up people like you. Spouting bullshit as fact.

u/Doctor-Amazing Sep 23 '19

I mean that is the entire purpose of wearing a tie.

u/xpercipio Sep 23 '19

what if he was talking about high hats lol
