Cowboys can't really make a living and average people can't really afford steak. Obviously there are some middle men messing up the works with their shenanigans.

Did you vet this before posting it?

Yeah is that why I can go to a truck stop and buy a cowboy hat for $10?

What dumb fuck pays 500 for a cowboy hat

Its not capitalism, which is merely the natural order of things, its Materialism/Consumerism

A cowboy hat is a vestige of American culture. It's far better than the childish baseball hat most man children wear.

Modern cowboys are just cosplayers without the anime.

Just bought my [10 gallon hat](https://files.catbox.moe/mp7klp.jpeg)

And……….he STILL bought the hat

My wife's family are farmers and cattle ranchers. They had 1400ish head on their land this past year. I've never seen her uncle wear anything "cowboy" in the 10+ years I've known him. Blue jeans, button up shirts, sweatshirts. Cowboy hats are for playing dress up.

Oh and we get beef from them for around $4-5/lbs. Sometimes a bull breaks a leg and that ground beef is like $2/lbs.

What I want to know is when did Carhart or other workwear become fashion? All it does is give the corporate leaders an excuse to jack up the price and lower the quality.

I should be bringing in about $150k running sheep and cattle on 60 acres. You can be a cowboy, but you need to learn how to graze. Regenerative techniques are reducing the input costs almost to zero.

Get some land and start practicing. In a few years you can do what I did if you aren't a faggot.

I literally work on a farm and wear such things. Western style clothing doesn't wear as fast. I got a duster for 130 3 years ago, a new one this spring same price, and someone just gave me a third one because she didn't know anyone who wore them and the man had died. Hats you can't go to the corporate jewy outlets, you have to drive to small towns where they have them and you can get one for 200-250. a good hat lasts a while. used to be able to get cheaper ones that were not as nice for like 50$ but it is harder to find. You can still find a good straw hat for 20$ at lots of farm supply shops. fancy shirts are most 100 at a goot shop and online 40-60. you don't wear those while working and work shirts are like 20$.

This is commentary about the fake cowboy shit like lamles who sell for the rodeo and fair. Calgary is the worst because of the tourist calgary stampede which is very overrated
