- A few folks have commented on my attire over the past few months. I think that's a legitimate query, so I decided to let folks know why my garb looks the way it does.

One of my favorite things about this video is all the comments from people who think the title is something they are supposed to answer.
That's not how RUclips works, kids.
But you do keep me chuckling.
Cowboy boots in the desert are also practical. They have a measure of protection against snake bite.
Agreed. I just bought some Cody James recently. I still like my Vibram Five Fingers better, to be honest.
TheStonehammerFiles not practical, don't offer very good grip and slip easy. Any pair of well made quality heavy duty leather boots will likely offer better protection against possible bites and better traction.
Chicken Nugget in what way? Hiking boots are for hiking my guy. Boots are all around shoes. This guy isn’t hiking or running. Boots beat out hiking boots all day... unless you’re going hiking
i always wear my cowboy boots in the desert but they do get banged up very very fast but i buy leather bottom boots
@@LuthorvilleCA you could always get some leather gaiters to wear on your calves with those Vibram shoes and have the best of both worlds... I've heard of a lot of people getting bitten on their leg but, never their toes.
LOL "Why do you dress like a "
"Because I want to." Respect.
I dress like a cowboy because it’s cool
Nothing wrong with that.
Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House , thanks . Cowboys are awesome
Same we’re both cool
I dress like a cowboy because I am one. :) I rodeo.
5K Ranch noice dude!
I dress like a cowboy because...I own a farm and have to administrate it.
You dress like a cowboy because youre a cowboy
slit fidget spinner dab bod mod exactly
"Because I can". I love it.
I'd hope that the ones asking such a silly question aren't the ones walking around with thier pants around their knees and a backwards ball cap. Lol
Yeah, this exactly
I'm a city boy from the Nevada desert, I dress " country " because its comfortable and looks nice. I wear a cowboy hat at work and around town in the summer because I work outside a lot of the time and it's hot as balls. I just love the country sense of respect, plus it's not uncommon to see ranchers out here. And yes, damn near all of us carry a firearm lol.
Dressing for the environment you are in is always a smart thing.
I dress like a cowboy because I can afford the gun, the hat, the holster, the spurs, the boots, all cost a lot of money, and not everyone can't afford it....and every man that is not dressed like a cowboy sure wishes he had the balls and or money to do so.....
As valid a reason as any, I suppose.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
No they don't most people think it looks silly unless you live in certain small section of the US.
Vix Crush most people are boring and conformists
😂😂balls for this shit....get the heck outa here
"Because I can" enough said! You should think about some pull on boots out there. A rattle snake can bite right through those things on your feet haha
Got boots now. This video is 15 months old.
I know its old but a from multiple encounters a snake can bite through boots no matter the quality
Tony Gables actually quality does play a major role in if a snake can bite through..... industrial grade boots are EXTREMELY tough and are made for construction workers... only a snake with steel diamond tipped fangs could bite through one of those things
Someone once asked me why I dress like such a hillbilly. I said, "................. because I'm a hillbilly."
Heh, heh! Nice! You gotta be yourself, right? If other folks don't like it, that's their problem.
You dress like you do cause you are American man! You don't need to give reasons why. Just be yourself.
Heck yeah! Best comment anyone has made! Thanks for watching!
actually the cowboy are mexicans, in América we just copy the culture
That's where the line breakes
FULL STOP
Me: wearing red shirt, black cowboy hat, blue jeans and black cowboy boots in 🇭🇺
the boots could come in handy, because they so pointed I can kick people's arses who offend me.
FUNCTIONAL
I'm 60 and for the better part of 55 years I've been dressing in western apparel. It all started back in 1965 when I turned 5 and got my first set of white pearl handle single action six shooters and gun belt. I was hooked. Today 55 years later my EDC is a 1873 45 Colt Single Action Peacemaker with a 7-1/2" barrel.
7.5" barrel .45? Wow. I bet that thing is so much fun! I've never shot a handgun with a 7.5" barrel. Must be accurate as heck!
I dress western. I was a cowboy now I’m old old so I still dress western.
"Because I can"
There you go.
I dress like a cowboy because I love the lifestyle I wanna own a ranch when I grow up
Nothing wrong with that!
I grew up in New Jersey and I used to where stuff like this minus the boots more like a plaid shirt and jeans. After Freshman year I started wearing sneakers and regular shirts. Now that I have my own money I think I want to start dressing different. Plaid shirts jeans and some cowboy boots might get the hat to just for fun. personally I see nothing wrong with the style it looks nice.
Thanks, man. Dress how you want. If you want to look like Rowdy Yates or Minnie Pearl, you're free to do that.
I like how American national-clothing is just normal clothing. You know, I couldn't just wear my country's national-clothing as everyday clothing.
Ha! I never looked at it that way. Pretty funny!
As I see it, you don't really need a special reason to dress as a cowboy other than the fact that you like western wear and love the cowboy look. Whether you're male or female, if you've always identified with the old westerns of yesteryear (who hasn't?), then that's all the reason it should be to dress as you see fit. The cowboy is the American symbol of independence, strength, and the will to do what's right. So cowboy/cowgirl up!
All true!
Well, I started dressing like 'cowboy' because of my family.
Dad always dressed like that, just without the hat, and he dressed me like that since I was a kid, and I tried some other styles but to be honest, I'm not comfortable with the other ones.
Right now I wear a hat, not always, just when it's kind of sunny and hot out there and I found that it's more comfortable than a baseball cap.
Thanks for sharing your tale.
I find when i wear a cowboy hat with almost anything
everyone asks why i dress like a cowboy!!!
Hahaha i take off the hat & look like a regular guy.
People are strange i suppose.
That was pretty much my whole point. Based upon a lot of comments on this video, folks don't seem to grasp that. I'm glad you did.
I dress like a cowboy because it's practical and I like the style it's what I feel comfortable on.
Thanks for watching.
I live on a farm in Australia. Boots, jeans, hats, gloves, knife are all essential for all the same reasons. It just makes sense. There will be some regional variation in style.
Yep. It's all sensible stuff.
Don't ever change
Nothing wrong with having your own style
Nothing wrong with dressing like a Cowboy/ Cowgirl
You hit the nail on the head when you said because you can. I've worn western clothes since I was old enough to buy my own. I fell in love with the west when I was a kid and watched Roy Rodgers and and Sky King on Saturday morning kid's television shows in the early 50's New Jersey where I grew up. In 1975 when I was 27 rears old I got some balls I sold everything I didn't think I'd need and along with my wife and 8 year old daughter packed up my pickup and headed out west to look for a homestead. We ended up in Montana and bought 37 acres in the Rockys. We lived in an army wall tent the first year while we built our first cabin. I worked odd jobs I could find and actually worked on some ranches and was a part time cowboy for a spell Lol. Cool video but the shoes with toes,,, well I'm still wearin boots. Keep making videos, your good at it.
That's a great story. Thanks for sharing. And now, I only wear the shoes when I go out jogging.
Why don't you dress like a Knight or a Viking?
I dress like a cowboy cause I have rdr2
I haven't played videogames since I was a child. But I think it's great that games get folks interested in the Old West.
I would be packing on my property too. rattlesnakes are a pain in the butt, and for that reason is why I would be wearing boots as well. A western Hat is a tool not a fashion statement.
I have yet to see any sign of rattlers. Honestly, I wish I had a few. That would mean a lot less mice.
H Pac in my opinion cowboy hats could be tools or a fashion statement
Commander Thorn you’ve obviously never worn one then lmao it covers you face as well as your neck from the sun 😂
@@natethegr8925 I did see this lol. I guess maybe if you wear it and you don't normally ware one. But even the bending of the side brim of the hat wasn't done as fashion it started when ranch workers went from horse back to driving trucks. Workers start bending the brim of hat so the hat wouldn't bump the door or B-piller of a truck. But if I'm out side working in 100f heat I would want a flat brim western hat that protects my face neck and shoulders from desert sun.
I dress like a cowboy because I AM A COWBOY. Period
okay first you need to know the definition of cowboy which is someone who herds or tends cattle/cows... its not a dress style. you can wear a business suite and dress shoes and drive a Prius and if you herd cattle your a cowboy.
the way you dress is called WESTERN. its a style. and usually consist of the boots the hat ect... yes cowboys dress western naturally because of the work they do.
if you see someone wearing western style clothes dont be thinking oh jeez look at this fake cowboy...
also riding a horse doesn't make you a cowboy either. if people want to dress western let them theres nothing wrong with it.
when you see someone wearing baggy pants hanging below his waste with an over sized shirt on does that make him a rapper? or fake rapper? lol
let people wear what they want. and worry about your selfs.
People who say I dress like a cowboy probably won't care about your vocabulary lesson, but I applaud your effort to educate them.
I like dressing like a cowboy. I get looks but mostly when people talk to me I say I'm 75 years old I dress the way I like. Most of the time I get positive feedback. The point is I've gone through many kinds of dress in my lifetime and I feel comfortable in cowboy clothes and really don't give a darn what others think. I'm not a real cowboy I know that anyway not many cowboy s left. Love the look and getting as close to the lifestyle as I can. Will die with my boots on pard. The Dark cowboy.
I dress like that every day
Nothing wrong with that.
With the same shoe's ???
@@a.ortega4505 Heck, why not.
so do i sans gun
I'm literally dressing up as one for Halloween
But not just for Halloween
There's a horse back riding place near my town and it's western themed
So not alot of folks wear cowboy apparel
So instead this time
Now that I have the hat,the spurs,the jeans and shirt and belt
I'm so hyped
a gun is a tool that can be used as a weapon for shooting a target... period. Dressing like a cowboy or using the equipment of a cowboy advocates self reliance, dependability, individuality and freedom; it is the American symbol.
Thanks for watching and sharing your poetic perspective.
I dress like a “cowboy”, is because it’s practical just like you said I don’t wear shoes like that because of weather and mud and also for working those wouldn’t do to well. A cowboy hat is more of a necessity then a statement.
These days (this video is 3 years old) I tend to only wear the shoes when I go jogging.
I live in an apartment here in Brazil, and I walk around the rooms with a 6 shooter in a leather holster, cuz it looks cool
I guess I am a cowboy. I'm on horseback as many days as not. I'm always doing "ranch" stuff. Not all of us cowboys dress like traditional cowboys. I do, because I like it and every item, boots, hat and even the gun are items I never leave the house without. They're all practical, and really, just part of the tools of the trade. As for non-cowboys who like the look, I say go for it! Beats the hell out of wearing your pajama pants to town with a ball cap backwards on your head, like we all see so much.
People like cowboys... I've been dressing this way for years because it makes me feel good and feeling good is all the reason I need.
😩 OMG those shoes ruined everything for me! I didn't need that visual!! I was better off believing you were a cowboy & just expected you'd have on boots of some sort. Let a girl dream! Imma need another video with you in boots asap! 😂😂
Ma'am, it's never my intent to disappoint a lady, but I do tend to be quite adept at doing so.
+ Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House 😂
Lmao what a turn off
I’m with you man 100% I wear cowboy attire but the shoes gotta go bud. Get a pair of boots and your set, but I also respect your decision to wear what you wanna wear. It’s your stuff and you can do what you need to do 🤠🤠🤠
Paul G - 👍😂
Very close to what the natives would have made combat boots work very well
I respect the hell out of this video!
Much obliged.
get a Stetson a real cowboy hat
Stetson only makes straw or felt and most cost $100 or more. I prefer my American-made leather Henschel for $50.
Real cowboys never wore "cowboy hats" I have some old Charlie Russel paintings, they all had bowler hats on.
Yes Stetson!
True best brand
I'm from Australia, we make akubra hats. Do they have them there in usa, also rm williams.
"It's fricken' hawt."
I'll Always Love you Dairy Queen.
That’s a great and in some way inspirational explanation you have there, Sir. I’m not American, but I do dress like a cowboy, because I love the culture and the outfit looks cool. Oh and by the way, I have the same belt and holster, but of a different color ;) It’s produced in Mexico, right?
The only thing that kinda threw me off a little is the 5-finger Vibram shoe:) Them shoes mismatch your outfit so much, it’s incredible :) Plus, I suspect you don’t want to feel every little stone and rock with your toes. But, hey, that is your choice of shoes and I respect that.
Well done on the video. Thank you.
Thanks. Actually, this video is years old. I tend to wear cowboy boots now. I only wear Vibrams when I run.
It's practical and I like the style. That's why I dress it
That's a good enough reason as any.
I dress like a cowboy 🤠 cause it’s ducking awesome , I love this man !! You don’t need a reason to wear what you like , if I had land in Japan I would be wearing samurai or cowboy clothes
i work on the oro ranch in montana, and hes right, we have to where all that stuff (a little bit up here). its meant to protect yourself from the weather
I'm a farmer in the Philippines. I enjoy cowboy boots and cowboy hats.
Ah man I was let the man live and was fully ready to support your choice of apparel as I live in London and get asked why I dress like a cowboy all the time too. I love a bit of double denim, western shirts, t shirts with the sleeves rolled up etc but then we got to the footwear and oh dear god no my eyes no!
I also have some Cody James Work Boots. The Vibrams Five Fingers are just more fun.
Living in the vast expanses of the remote American West, you can practically anything you want for days at a time because there is nobody there to see or object..... unless you are a youtube vlogger, then the whole situation changes for a person. lol
Because it's cool. Don't listen to other people. They won't understand.
That is true. They never do.
I'm still stuck in Ohio. June friggin' 13th, and it's 59 degrees?! I dressed like that in the 70's too. I miss my jean jacket. Darn snake gutters hurt my feet. So I switched to them square-toed horse kickers. I'll be goin' for the JW Shootist look when I can get some of those 19th century repro cloths. I have a 19th century repro holster and a 2" wide belt for it. And a new Colt SAA with 5.5" barrel, stainless plated and satin black grips. Since my hairs getting grey-n-white, that part of Duke's older character will be easy! lol And it always amazes me how the desert can be 140 in the daytime. Then down to like 45-50 at night!? You'd think all that rock and sand would hold some heat? Nope. Sure don't. We slept in the back of our Dodge pick up at night in New Mexico, Aridzona, and Texas. Felt like it was November!
There are certainly temperature extremes in the Old West, especially in the high desert.
@@LuthorvilleCA That part always amazed me. Wanna take my family out to the painted desert. And that glacial cut near Shiprock with the ancient alien on that huge bolder. Saw it myself before In Search Of did.
I dress like one cause it’s my culture all my family dresses Ike tht from Mexico Michoacán
Now if a person wears clothing from their favorite sports team, are they asked, "Do you think you play for that team?" There is no reason why some ignoramous should ask anybody why they dress like a cowboy. It is simply just another way to dress. Deal with it.
Why I dress like a cowboy because I like it!!!
That's why I got the Tim McGraw hat🤠
There you go! No better reason than, "Because it's America, and I want to."
I dress like a cowgirl because I love it. I wear Loblan cowboy boots every day in life, and most times a beaver fur stetson. I'm comfortable and I love westerns. Being in Scotland, it is strange and I can't wear a gun in public, but hey, if others don't like it, fine. Don't comment on other peoples' lives until yours is perfect.
A Scottish cowgirl, huh? That's pretty awesome. Karen Gillan in cowboy boots is a gorgeous visual.
Because my great great great grandfathers dna dwells inside me
y I where a cowboy hat.when it rains I do not want to lug around an umbrella, when its hot I'm in the shade. simple!
Excellent idea. Thanks for watching.
Aw shucks! I thought it'd be a cool answer like; "Because all the Buck Rogers clothes were sold out".... :D
Well, if the clothes could attract a Wilma Deering, I'd definitely dress like Buck Rogers.
@@LuthorvilleCA Coincidence! I have actually met Erin Grey and I'm totally am with you that!!!! :D
You should buy another holster and gun and place it on the side and become a gunslinger.
Not a bad idea.
After This Im absolutely appalled with Guns and Bullets.... So I decided to go for it and get myself a full wardrobe !
That all makes sense, but what about the guy in a city that's walking through the mall?
And after he's done shop and he goes home to a suburban house with no horses and no farm.
But he does have a nice patio with a swing set in the back for the kids.
I made this video to talk about my situation, not to judge what other folks are doing. Besides, of all the potential clothing a human being can wear, a suburban dad dressed like a cowboy seems quite harmless.
I dress like a Cowboy because it’s when men were men, where they worked, like I work. Where they have quality, like I had quality, where they stand up for themselves like I do.
Wear what you want when you want that’s pretty damn outlaw to me
Here in AZ that attire is common, especially when out in the fields and mountains
Good reason to respect Arizona.
I live in Australia, I could not live without a wide rim hat. I was dying before I started wearing a hat regularly. It is so awful getting heatstroke on a regular basis because your head gets way too much sun, it is worth wearing a hat in these conditions.
Yep. Lots of folks think it's like going to the beach and you just walk around in swimtrunks.
No.
It's the exact opposite. To keep cool, you don't expose your skin to the sun. You cover up as much as possible.
Guys that wear Sport shoes and basketball shirts in the summer time are they really basketball player? OR Do they just like the look?
When living a place kind of like living in the game RDR2 ,dressing like a cowboy will be a good option for me too👍
I dress like a cowboy because like you said, a gun and hat make all the difference between normal and cowboy.
While loading an ATM at night, in New Mexico, I fell afoul of a small band of coyotes. That all I have to say.
I dress like a cowboy when I go hunting and bushcraft, when I'm in town I only wear jeans and a flannel shirt sometimes I'm using a t-shirt when it's hot of course tucking it into my jeans and always using my favorite denim jacket
Ghshhghsghsg I don’t know what I was expecting him to wear as footwear, but toe shoes were not it. The pure energy, I am in awe
Coyotes are real shy and will walk away if it sees you I live in Sonoran dessert and I know plenty of people who wear the same outfit you know but minus the gun
Most coyotes flee. Feral dog packs tend to be more aggressive than coyotes.
Free country. Same people asking why you are dressed like a cowboy are 5'7 wearing sport jerseys or bleach white and wearing hip hop fashion. Good on them, but pretty stupid to even question why someone wears western wear.
I dress that way for my mom ran from my dad ( she was a "entitled mom" ), and I watched the old TV westerns like Roy Rogers, Hop along Cassidy, Bat Masterson, Have gun will travel, The lone ranger ( which I called "The long ranger" for years 😀 ), etc. I played cowboy and got my great aunt mad when I was shot and fell on the floor, she was putting coal in the funace, those shows replaced my dad until I saw him at age 21 👍. I have 3 pairs of cowboy boots, I'm trying to walk again from almost dying ( in the hospital for a week ) and I might not be able to get them off 😋.
Thanks for sharing your story.
@@LuthorvilleCA if I don't mention it, the past will fade away.
Dress how you want to dress. Who gives a damn what people think. Life is too short. Be a cowboy.
Friendly Troll Warning:Don't forget the rattlers! A pistol is very handy out there.The hat; I used to be all about the BB cap until I bought my first Stetson in '12, (rather my only Stetson as I haven't bought a second one... Yet.) This is a more practical head piece than any worn by men anywhere, and most ladies dig it.I miss my Jean Jacket, haven't worn one since the late 80's but, it really was a great guard against the sun and traipsing through brambles. The oiled dusters I've worn since then are just as practical, if not better. Kudos to you for rocking an ageless style.The shoes... Can't formulate an opinion as I haven't ever worn a pair. I regularly wear over-ankle Hiking shoes and occasionally wear a pair of very expensive Tony Lama boots I bought on a whim while in North Dakota on a Old West tour. Both of these have protected my feet on numerous adventures into the wilder areas of the west and Alaska. I hope you never have to encounter a Devil's Club in those Toe Shoes, lol.
Mojave Greens are some of the deadliest pit vipers in the world. I haven't seen any, but believe me, I sure ain't forgetting about them!
No need to worry about a Devil's Club out in the desert, as those are more of a forest plant. However, the Goat Head (Tribulus terrestris) is the big concern in Los Angeles and plain old creosote branches can be quite sharp.
Why in the world would ever want to apologize and explain yourself for dressing like a cowboy or trying to be a cowboy or merely wanting to be a cowboy? I mean, it's your life, right?
This topic was simply a fun excuse to make a video. Nothing more.
@@LuthorvilleCA Now that makes sense :)
i would carry mine everyday but of course florida is always behind on times and i can't carry openly. which really sucks
I'm legally allowed to open carry only because I'm on my own private property. I can't open carry once I step off my land.
And if he dresses like a cowboy who cares he is his own man
I personally find tall boots to be really comfortable, and they provide lots of protection for the feet and lower legs in a place like the Southwest and other parts of the country
“Why do you dress like a cowboy” ?
“Why do you ask stupid questions” ?
Heh. That's funny. Good point!
You seem like a good guy my friend. I hope you’re doing well.
Reason to have a gun; protection, to scare away Intruders, hunt, and it's freaking cool man
All good reasons.
😂 Just waiting for some Knights and Vikings to show up. How about an Astronaut costume?
I wear what I wear because we got lawmen in 3 different states on our tail
Why not dress how you want and how you feel ? What practical reason does someone have to dye their hair purple ? Or dress with like they’re sponsored by Sabb when they ride a bike ?
This topic was simply a fun excuse to make a video. Nothing more.
Sir, you have my respect.
And I thank you for it.
I dress like a cowboy bc I am a damn cowboy and a fuckin gunslinger
1519-1700s After the Spanish arrived in Mexico in 1519, ranches were established and stocked with cattle and horses imported from Spain. Landowners mounted native Indians on well-trained horses and taught them to handle cattle. By the early 1700s, cattle ranching had spread north into what is now Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico and south to Argentina. The native cowboys were called vaqueros(from the Spanish word for cow) and developed roping skills, using braided rawhide reatas (the root word for lariat). Starting in 1769, a chain of 21 Franciscan missions eventually stretched from San Diego to San Francisco, marking the beginning of California’s livestock industry
I see your quote comes from _The History of the Vaquero_ on the American Cowboy website.
Not sure why you are just copying and pasting blog entries written by other people as your commentary, but have fun with that!
Yes i have been to several desserts in Africa and Asia
The shoes with that outfit are ridiculous but awesome at the same time 🤣
Not only an apt description of my outfit, but an equally befitting description of myself - ridiculous but awesome at the same time.
Cowboy boots is a must
I dress like a cowboy cuz I wanna be the best gunslinger in the modern west
Good enough reason as any.
The cowboy hat is practical if you grab a good straw like an Atwood. The leather is hot.
idk what they are talking about, you look sick man
Thank you. Funny how "sick" has become slang for "good".
“Marauding band of meth heads are gonna come marching through the desert “ 😂. As someone who has ridden a dirt bike through the high desert, I can attest that is a true concern
Oh, indeed. Folks who have never been out here have no idea how weird/crazy the desert can be.
Don’t wanna get caught lacking by a cougar
I dress like one because I work on a farm.
I kind of dress like a cowboy during hot months when i go out in the scorching sun to do stuff, especially when riding my horse, why not ey?
I'm curious: Why did cowboys (in Hollywood movies, at least) wear long-sleeve shirts, even under the sun of a very hot summer? Why did they wear long-johns all the time? ------ (gilberto lehrer from brazil)
I've never researched Old West clothing styles, so I can't say which facets depicted by Hollywood are historically accurate and which aspects are total fiction.
But...
Having worked in film, I can tell you 99% of the time, aesthetics are more important than historical accuracy. Movies are just storytelling. Campfire tales. Legends. Mythology. The _fun_ of the story is more important than the _truth_ of the story.
Personally I like the look.
