I would love to hear more about the Nudie Suits. As for my wardrobe, I own three “cowboy” hats and two pair of western boots. I sometimes pair my boots with a tan Brooks Bros. suit I bought a few years ago. I accessorize it with a jade bolo tie that I bought in Santa Fe, NM years ago.
I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

For some years, I went on a Western wear “binge”: neckerchiefs; boots; a few snap button shirts…that sort of thing. Eventually, I concluded that it was just sort of silly for a city man like me and that Western wear is best reserved for real Westerners (You know who you are!) in the West. I rather like the look of Western/cowboy boots, and they can be great, practical footwear…if you ride horses much of the time! Otherwise, no. Experto crede! On one occasion I had an automotive breakdown a few miles from my apartment and had to walk home. I was wearing good-quality boots (Justin as I recall), and this modest walk left the soles of my feet badly blistered. I was also experiencing quite a lot of foot pain. Ditched all the cowboy boots, and the pain went with them. Need I say more?

Here in Texas, it is of course easy to incorporate Western wear into one’s wardrobe. Actually, it’s how I manage to always be dressed well without looking like I’m trying to be flashy. A tweed vest and OCBD with jeans and western boots is a regular outfit for me. Boots in particular are comfortable, practical, durable, and good-looking. I even wear a pair of black alligator boots with my tuxedo.

I highly recommend Anderson Bean boots . they’re made in Texas and are high quality.

I have a couple of 1940s western fedoras that I wear frequently. One is a Stetson, the other a Wormser.

I have 6 pairs of western style boots, and several shirts.
I probably wear my black Justin Ropers, more than any of the others, though, because they will actually go with just about anything, and look fine, even with suits, as the take a high polish, and they are conservatively cut, and sporting a “normal” heel.
I’d love a Western style hat. However, I’d don’t think that I could manage it, where I live.
I’ve always wanted a Stetson Open Road Silverbelly!…..Ahh, One Day!

I frequently wear western clothes.
Mostly vintage Pendleton shirts and vests along with ostrich boots.
I always get compliments.
I live in Michigan
