You can do the cowboy look well. Ditch the long leather coat, the hat and the toothpick. Wear flannel button-ups and cowboy boots of a standard color with jeans of a standard color.
Don’t copy phrases from movies, but speak slowly and politely. Don’t do a strong accent, but it’s ok to do a mild accent. Instead of tipping a hat, give a significant, thoughtful head nod as a greeting.
Not just flannel because that shit gets hot in the summer. There are pearl snap western cut shirts that you can wear in the summer that won’t kill you. They’re much thinner.
Otherwise, pretty good advice here. And Sam wore those western shirts in addition to flannel.
Eh, kids will be kids. I remember when I was I t he 6th grade there was a kid named Steven who only ever wore camo to school. Of course we all made fun of him. 😔 kids (and their adult versions) can be mean. I hope Steven turned out fine.
In my 6th grade, wearing camo was so common it was utterly unremarkable. Only time someone got joked with was when a kid named Hunter wore a camo jacket with camo pants outside of deer season.
a kid with a infatuation? O no the horror. It’s fucking fine. If people want to laugh about it later in good spirits, awesome. If it’s not in good spirits, then congratulations you have identified a asshole. Someone not worth giving two shits about.
Also deadwood. That show is fucking awesome and I am not particularly fanatic about western or cowboy culture.
