I have been influenced by the silver screen cowboys and the clothes they wore.
I know some authentic cowboys who wear the clothes of a working cowboy when they sing.
I am a singer who loves cowboy and western music, not an authentic cowboy who loves to sing cowboy and western music. If I were an authentic cowboy who loved to sing this music, I would likely wear a working cowboy’s clothes. And I know some authentic cowboys who wear the clothes of a working cowboy when they sing. I have been influenced by the silver screen cowboys and the clothes they wore, even though those clothes were not actually the clothes that actual cowboys wore. I am attracted to vivid colors and vintage cowboy shirts offer those colors. The two best makers of vintage cowboy shirts are Rockmount Ranch Wear out of Denver and the Scully Leather Company out of Oxnard, California. I have five Rockmounts and one Scully.
I get many compliments on my shirts at my performing venues. I have had attractive young ladies tell me I am the best dressed cowboy at the event and ask me what I want for the shirt I am wearing. I smile, thank them for the compliment, and ask them what they are willing to offer. That always ends with laughter, an interesting conversation, and my shirt staying on me. I love to wear those wonderful shirts.
