Western threadHow can I incorporate a poncho into my fits without it coming off as too larpy?
you don't
>>18749011Wear the poncho, the high value women will love it. The lame ones (retard foids) won't.
if I was native american i'd just dress like this all day
>>18749047>if I was native american i'd just dress like this all dayIt's a shame that chugs just wear disgusting shit from dumpsters and tweak out on the streets. They had so much aura. Fire water > fent all day long.
>>18749011be a stoner
>>18749166Ive known quite a few that are nazi bikers, the mix of traditional native imagery and SS patches on denim jackets is an extremely unique look.
>>18749043>high value womenLol, good one.
>>18749011not every woman likes it but those who like it like it very much, that's all i'm sayin' ;)
>>18749585Well yeah. Cowboys, because no woman has ever dreamt of being swept off her feet by an accountant!
>>18749255women love the cowboy look
>>18749011It will look like a halloween costume unless it's a waterproof wool one which you wear on hikes in the winter.
>>18749021fpbp
My goal aesthetic is something in between western/cowboy and greaser I have some black cowboy boots and I'm planning on pairing them with a black leather jacket when it finally cools down enough to wear it
>>18749011ID on the hat?
>>18751482The hat is one of film's great mysteries. No one know anything about it and most people believe Clint just bought it secondhand or from a local store for the wardrobe But you can get replicas easy. It's basically a telescope crown western hat with a pencil roll
>>18749043>high value women will love itincel hands typed this (after masturbating to BBC)
>>18751515what if I'm not an incel but still masturbate to cuck porn?
>>18751538then you look like this
>>18749011Feels like it might work in Arizona but you'll look like a tool in any of the coastal cities.
>>18752328>cities
>>18749011start going to EDM festivals
>>18749011Can Asians in the west do western/cowboy themed looks or does it look cringe?I know Japs do it but it seems to be the norm or a subculture there
>>18753230The whole of amekaji is built on these and amekaji is what modern Americana menswear is literally entirely built upon. But also look into wearing your traditional garments in general as it always looks sick. I myself have a hanfu even though I'm a slavoid.
>>18753230Japan has a big cowboy culture. They love that shitChina had its own wild west back in the day that you never hear about. Interesting stuff
I wear this daily
>>18753381straw hats always scream "cheap" to me
short answer: you don't. ponchos are simply too costumey. no one is going to see it as part of an outfit, they will just see the poncho and be "haha yoooo sick poncho" and then you're just the poncho guy.
I've discovered the rule for wearing western wear without coming off as larpy/costumeyUnless you're an actual cowboy working on a ranch, limit yourself to one piece of western wear per fit. Cowboy boots with jeans and a shirt? Looks fine. Cowboy boots with jeans and a pearl snap western yoke shirt? Hmm, getting kinda larpy A poncho might be able to work if you keep this in mind. Wear a poncho with "regular" clothes and it might look like like a stylistic choice. Wear one with a cowboy hat? Or cowboy boots? You're in full on larp territory
>>18753800i knida feel the same. i personally really enjoy western snap shirts with jeans, but wear them with chelseas. i think if i went as far as getting cowboy boots, it would come off as a costume like you said.
>>18749011Easiest way is to just you wear it in appropriate weather (snowy or lightly rainy days), it's going to look larpy no matter what. Even in the south/south west, where it's still a little culturally acceptable to dress with a western style, wearing a cowboy hat makes you look like you are larping. Just don't give a fuck, wear what you want. Neo-westerns are cool as fuck, anytime you do anything outside of the norm it will take some experimentation until you're able to find what works for you, get fully comfortable, and refine the look.
Are Stetsons actually good hats? I kinda like the Bozeman 250 but I'm not really a hat guy and don't really do anything that warrants wearing one. I'd definitely go and try it on in person first but idk how to tell a good hat from a bad hat.
>>18754032Stetson is mass produced trash riding off its name
>>18754034Man... I hate that basically everything is mass produced garbage riding off their name nowadays.
>>18749011unless you look like this, don't bother
>>18754040as with almost any thing, the smaller brands are always making the best products stetson is known for making cheap low quality hats, laughably terrible cowboy boots and western wear made overseas. they prey on clueless people that hear the name "stetson" and automatically assume it must be good. that is not the case
If you like the style what's wrong with larping? >>18753480I like this guys fit. You look less larpy if you wear it outdoors like on a hike or a backpacking trip.
>>18754090Reminds me of The Great Silence, another great spaghetti western starring Klaus Kinski as the villain
>>18749011It will look OK if it's getting cold and you're on a long hiking trip in a remote place. A lot of things that would look larpy or ridiculous work perfectly in such setting.
>>18749250>Ive known quite a few that are nazi bikers>native american nazi bikersThis is the most "if you can't beat em, join em" thing I've read in a while
>>18754206There was a native school shooter many years back who was also a nazi. Living on the reservations fucks people up in polarizing ways.
my go to summer hat. i noticed a lot of straw hats and panamera w/e fedoras in my city
>>18754652holy kek hahahahahahhaah
>>18754867It's fine though?
>>18754868no, it's not
>>18751488its very cool. I heard it was a...and now I can't fucking remember the term. Oh yeah, a 'gambler'. None of my cowboy hats look like it but its the best one.
im an accountant and I wear western gear to the office year round fuck you that one commenter who said women dont dream of accountants my life fucks me several times a week
this is mine. flat brim telescopic crown made of toquila straw hand woven by mayans in mexico.>>18754869nothing wrong with it, id argue the worst its a stetson
>>18754953is there a name for that hat? its cool
>>18755281Straw western hat? Straw cowboy hat Obviously it's a straw hat but hats often have different names depending on the brim shape even if they're all lumped under the "western" umbrella
>>18755288ok here hats are serious business they have names for the shapes
>>18749011Guys how can I incorporate plate armor into my fits without looking larpy? Any tips?
>>18755346i think you could get away with wearing leg armor with like an otherwise normal streetwear outfit, but everything else seems to large and impractical for public wear.
>>18755346Balenciaga did it well in their FW21 collection
>>18755281its like this: style-material-specific-detailsso: gambler-hat-straw-telescopic-crowngambler = flat brim and telescopic crown, think angel eyes. a bolero hat looks identical but has a flat crown. its that ezim going to get this one, a gambler hat made from bolivian wool
>>18755309>>18755281
>>18755346LEOPARD PRINT we told you in the other thread
>>18755423I like the colombian
>>18754990How to get free Alamy pictures without the watermarks?
>>18755731just ask AI to remove them
>>18749011a poncho is always gonna look larpy unless you're actually working. but you can keep the vibes and get a sherpa coat instead
>>18756112Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi, etc. won't remove the watermarks because of "copyright infringement" bullshit. Any better suggestions?
>>18756499what the fuck is Kimi?
>>18756501if you have to ask, you don't need to know.
>>18756506>is asking for information>denies a different person asking for information are you retarded
>>18756514>able to google anything in only a matter of seconds>whining in a 4chan thread insteadare you?
>>18753480I mean if you wore a poncho anywhere around the city back in the 1800s people would honestly say the same thingLike anon said >>18754092 if your out on some backpacking trip you can make it work.
>>18754947Lmao, you're literally the example I bring up when I make fun of larping cowboy faggots. You're an accountant dressed like a working man. No offense, champ, as long as you don't also drive a lifted 4x4 that is parked in your apartment's parking lot year round.
>>18756649>as long as you don't also drive a lifted 4x4 that is parked in your apartment's parking lot year roundbut accountants and office retards are the target demographics for those mall crawlers
>>18756540This>>18756501>>18756514BTFO
>>18753480>you're just the poncho guy.And people start calling you Poncho rather than your real name.
>>18749011>>18749021i've seen lots of women but also men wearing them in winter, gaucho and mapuche style
Yul Brynner's 60s and 70s Western looks is great modern cowboy inspo.
>>18757208they all look sillyexcept the old dude. he can wear anything he wamts at that age.
>>18757216I'm gonna watch The Magnificent Seven this week
>>18756115This guy looks cool.
cool glasses and a well groomed beard, Mike used to pull fits like that before the incidenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9VFJcC1J-U
>>18757208these looks awful the last one not as bad.>>18757472it looks like a halloween ep
Any Texas bros? Where can I get a good custom hat made?
>>18757828Stetson
I'd love to get a gun belt, brown leather, embossed/embroidered with a nice buckle, but I've got a Schofield and not a SAA so the profile for all the holsters and belts I've seen look kind of silly.
>>18757857This, just pick a design with some restraint, and try them on in person. If you end up with a huge hat made of fancy materials it's going to make the rest of your wardrobe look poorfag tier unless you like going to work or dinner dressed as Doug Dimmadome.
>>18757857Everything I've seen says Stetson is riding off its name and there are better options
>>18757828anything but stetson, think of them like chink mass produced cheap AND stolen shit. bc stetson literally stole it from the mexicans
>>18757957Make your own.
>>18757974>Everything I've seen says Stetson is riding off its name and there are better optionsWhatever you read is fake and gay, written by seething poorfags. Haters can't deal with that fact that Stetson has been the undisputed king of hats for more than a century.
>>18758324>>18757976I was always under the impression their hats were decent because that's their bread and butter. There are better hat companies but they're decent Their cowboy boots are absolutely some of the worst you can get though. Pure trash
>>18753480kek
>>18758381>There are better hat companiesSuch as?>>18758381>Their cowboy boots are absolutely some of the worst you can get though. Pure trashWhat do you recommend?
>>18758460>Such as?custom makers. local shops that do cool stuff>What do you recommend?as with anything it depends on your budget. how much are you willing to spend? tecovas is actually very good value for the price for a lot of their models.and don't get caught up on made in usa vs made in mexico. mexico has a very strong cowboy boot tradition and makes some excellent stuff from brands like chisos (will probably be my next boots) and unmarked, while usa brands like lucchese are selling dogshit for $1k+. i have some made in usa tony lamas that are objectively inferior to my tecovas for half the pricei do not like exotics, personally. not interested in ostrich or caiman and not willing to spend for croc or aligator
>ruins your otherwise cool cowboy boot
>>18758466>custom makers. local shops that do cool stuff"Custom makers"? Unknown "local shops that do cool stuff"? That's not a good answer, so we'll assume you don't know and leave it at Stetson as a solid recommendation for >>18757828.
>>18758488are you retarded? i already know the answer is yes. i don't know where you live. i don't know what country you're from. how am i supposed to name off local hat shops near you? i live in texas which is the mecca for western wear and i can go to 20 different local hat makers that do 100% beaver felt hats shaped on site to my exact specs. for all know you live in bumfuck nowhere and i'm supposed to name off local hat stores for you to go to? get fucked you retarded bitch
>>18758490The conversation is about the Texas anon looking for a good hat in Texas, you fucking retard. For his purposes, Stetson is sufficient.>i can go to 20 different local hat makers that do 100% beaver felt hats shaped on site to my exact specs. Okay, so name them.
>>18758492the best hat storepeter brothers hatsjobes hat storefinchers white frontsombrero brandsbarbara's custom hatsm.l. leddy'smaverick fine western wearrancher hat bar dallasdallas hats, incthe house of macgregorrhode and sonstacchino hat coand that's just DFW. austin probably has that many in an even smaller footprint
stetsons are fucking trash, instead just google around your amerimutt area and look handmade hats. if you want trash go to a waltmart an get a stetson.
>>18758496tell that to this guy>>18758492pretty sure he's a stetson intern with how hard he's sucking their dick
>>18758485Almond toe is king
>>18758540my next boots will be snip toe
>>18758496>>18758497Stetson is a good gateway into cowboy hats, retard. Always has been.
>>18758554you must be mexican
>>18758841Mexicans wear pointed, not snip, and the like it really long and exaggerated
>>18758842Mexicans wear snipped, too.
I know Lucchese is overpriced but I want a pair so bad
>>18758495You literally just looked up hat stores in DFW on google, you poser faggot. Some on your list straight up carry Stetsons. There's nothing wrong with them, and nobody in Texas except gay accountants with overpriced trucks dress in cowboy garb, much less wear a straight up cowboy hat. The most you're going to get is a fat dude in Ariat jeans and roper work boots wearing a t-shirt to cover up his fat. You're just gay and an accountant.
>>18758940bro move on already holy shit. no wonder your parents never let you out of the house
>>18758940>nobody in Texas except gay accountants with overpriced trucks dress in cowboy garb, much less wear a straight up cowboy hat.Doubt. I see blue collar people in full western all the time.
>>18759000>Doubt. I see blue collar people in full western all the time.Blue collar people are wearing work clothes and maybe a set of Ariat work boots, but never full western wear. You're just lying.
>>18749011
>>18759003Is your measure for "full western" a rodeo getup or a mexican wedding? My measure is simple>cowboy boots>cowboy hat>western style shirt>jeanswhich I see often.
>>18759000You to a Quick Time around 7-8am any given work day and look what all the tradegies and mexican landscapers are wearing Cowboy boots, western work boots, or else they're wearing Red Wing Moc Toes or similar. Loads of cowboy hats
>>18754206nazi imagery in biker gangs wasn't always an actual nazi thing.some used to do it just to be antisocial. very boomer thing to do, doesn't really hold water anymore.
>>18759006Man, why you still spamming that Kenshiro look-a-like dude everywhere? What the real fuck!
>>18759019Nobody wears cowboy hats with cowboy boots. Dudes wear ropers with work pants and a trucker hat.
>>18759409i live in texas so my idea of "western wear" is probably different from someone in a flyover or even worse, some urbanite coastal fag. most people you see wearing cowboy hats, western shirts, wranglers and cowboy boots are either actual ranch owners or larpers wearing a costume. if they're ranch owners they're probably rich as fuck boomers driving enormous giant pickup trucks. these people own the ranch but don't work it, they hire people for that. but still wear the outfit everywhereor they're larpers. go to the fort worth stockyards on any random day of the year and you'll see people everywhere dressed up in a costume with their boots and their hats and their snap shirts tucked in. they're just playing dress up, and that's fine i don't mind. the best part is the women wearing daisy dukes that get swallowed up their asses and little tank tops. goddamn i could be such a filthy coomer if i wanted
The accountant slander WILL stop
>>18759421>wearing a specific style of dress>they're just playing dress upYes? Man I really don't get your hang up on western wear. You seem to have a lot of internal rules about who's allowed to wear western style clothes and when. Western wear is just a type of traditional Americana, like greasers/rockabilly and stuff. Pearl snaps, winged yokes and embroidery are not workwear. People can just like the style and wear it.
>>18759493move on anon you're a retard
>>18759496Ok yankee, I guess you can only wear goth if your a vampire.
>>18759499Western gothic sounds kino
>>18759817Southern Gothic & Gothic Cowboy styles are extremely kino.
>>18759499>calling me "yankee" when I've lived most of my life in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas I bet you're posting from Ohio right now
>>18759847move on anon you're a retard.
>>18759959they look like they just walked out of a halloween, western themed party. horrible
>>18756115why wouldnt you be working? lower your tone if you work less than 120 hours a week ffs
>>18757957el paso saddlery
>>18749011does it have to be a poncho?
>>18749011you guys are still doing this lmao
>>18753480maybe not look like a weak ass bitch and wrap your couch
>>18754085like what some israeli?
never mind the whole gay cowboy look is it okay to sometimes wear a bolo tie with semi formal look instead of a cuck tie for a wedding or whatever or does it look feminine i like the rural vibe
>>18762230Clint isn't Jewish at all. He can trace his ancestry back to the Mayflower. He's mostly British
>>18762323still dysgenic
>>18760577this is jew coded
>>18762229so true
The only reason it’s not larpy while on hikes because there won’t be anyone to see you larpy, kinda like does a bear shit in the woods kind of thing. Does a fag larp in the woods?
>>18763555>Does a fag larp in the woods?i dunno fag, do you consider it larping when you go outside?
>>18762323>He can trace his ancestry back to the MayflowerSo can I. So can millions of people. You do realize that there has been over 16 generations in the 406 years since the Mayflower landing. Let's say 2 children per-generation, so 52 couples x 2^16 = 3.4 million people.More to the point, we have 2^16=65,536 ancestors from 15 generations ago. Knowing that one of them was on the Mayflower says nothing of the other 65k+ ancestors.Or do you believe there's something magical about the Mayflower that was passed on to passengers genes?
>>18763585If you assume 3.5 kids per generation, you get 31,439,845,204 or 4 times the current estimated world population.
