(50,557 posts)1. The Hat
A real cowboy, almost invariably, wears a baseball hat with the name of one of the companies he buys materials from - preferably the local agricultural supply house or seed supplier - printed on it. If he has a Stetson, it's only for wear to church or social events. You ever price one of those things?
2. The Boots
"Cowboy boots" are completely impractical for field work. A real cowboy has work boots on his feet.
3. The Clothes
No fancy cowboy shirts or cowboy jeans for real cowboys. Working clothes like Ben Davis or Carhartt are more like it.
4. The Pickup
If it looks like it went to war, lost and went back for seconds, a real cowboy drives it. The bed will generally contain half a ton of random crap, which of course the real cowboy can find exactly what he needs from it in seconds.
If two men are standing next to one another, and one is dressed in a Stetson, pristine western wear and a set of Larry Mahan boots, and the other looks like a construction worker and smells like a mixture of freshly-plowed soil and manure...the second guy is your real cowboy.
