    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.

      Deadwood was a show about Rome, rethemed to the old west because HBO already had ROME going on

        Deadwood was about cops in a lawless place, not Rome. It was originally pitched as taking place in Rome, and the show ROME forced them to change the setting.

          The saloons were originally collegium, idk what you are trying to correct here.

          Deadwood had a retheme to the west but it wasn’t really a western or a cowboy show.

            All you have to do it watch it. It does not have anything g to do with Rome. Again, the creator pitched it as taking place in Rome during the reign of Nero. Because the show is about cops in a place with no laws, not Rome.

              My dude I’m not going to argue with you about settled fact. In fact I’m not disagreeing with you except in saying that deadwood isn’t a show about cowboys.

                If you mean that in the sense it’s about frontiersman not cowboys or something then ok, that’s all the same to me. But you can read Milchs interview. He very clearly says it’s about cops, and the original setting he had in mind was Rome. It’s not about Rome.

    The real tragedy is that he didn’t stick to it. People who stop being willing to stand out make the world a more boring place.

    Real cringe is adult quasi strangers teasing someone for what they did as a teenager.

    IDK why but this just made me think of Dodgeball.

    “Who’s Steve the Pirate?”

    “Literally the only player on the team that dresses up like a pirate?”

    “We have a player that dresses up like a pirate?!”

    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.

    Check out Sam from TrueBlood as a good example.

      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.

      If you want what real current day cowboys wear.

      • Boots (no over the top clasps, spurs, and stuff. Go for something like this: https://www.justinboots.com/)

      • Light blue jeans pants

      • white t shirt, can substitute a linen or seersucker button down if preferred. Plain or checkered pattern if doing button down.

      • western hat

      • belt with big buckle (optional)

        In most places, hats and coats are considered outerwear. You suggest someone wear a hat, and they’ll wear it everywhere.

        I suggested ditching the hat (and coat) because people who dress for a theme, like OP, often let the theme override indoor/outdoor considerations.

        Maybe in Texas they wear the hats indoors. But in most places, you go inside, you take your hat off immediately (and hang it up until you go back out).

    Lean into it. And if all someone sees is something that happened years ago, fuck’em. They don’t know you.

    Best thing to do is to own it, accept it and laugh with them at how cringe it was.

    Eh, kids will be kids. I remember when I was in the 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.

      Wat. In my 6th grade if someone had worn camo all the time they would’ve been king of the class.

        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.

    I got a cowboy hat once until my partner pointed out that men who wear cowboy hats always end up on the TV news with neighbours describing them as a “quiet man who kept himself to himself”, despite which “nobody saw this coming”.
