Pretty much any pattern other than a solid color works. I prefer darker-colored patterns that I guess might be called check or houndstooth. I am not knowledgeable about that fashion terminology.

MojoTexas, owning and working livestock makes all the difference in the world when you're talking about dressing like a cowboy.

I just don't see it around here (Houston-Galveston) except as an affectation.

Well, I used to wear suits and have hair on top of my head, and people mistook me for Jeremy Irons.

Probably "tourist."

How often do you see cowboy hats or boots in Texas, or at least the Houston area and eastward?

You can't carry there. Hawaii is as bad as Illinois or New Jersey.

Welcome to the forum.

Nobody notices. Nobody cares. You could dye your hair purple, and probably only your mother would notice.

Cops are not looking for men with Hawaiian shirts or fanny packs. They are looking for these slouching knuckle-draggers wearing gang colors that they are very familiar with.
