Re: Clothing Choices

Good valid responses everyone! I too lived in Tarrant & Parker Counties for about 10 years. I do not miss the humidity at all!!! LOL. In our area our "normal" hot weather humidity is around 20 to 35%. We have had several days with 3% to 10% humidity AND extreme fire danger days. I can take 90 to 100 deg temps with low humidity anyday, even if just for a short time.

I wear all cotton shirts and Wranglers. Being around barbwire, stickers, and other stuff to "nick" you with (have brought blood a numer of times...lol), the heavy cotton clothes are more protective and cooler.

Someone once said that West Texas is where everything either "bites, stings, or has stickers and the wind blows all the time". :mrgreen:

Clothing Choices

As a frequent visitor and sometimes poster on several of the Gun Forums, I have noticed an interesting trend among posters. That being, the frequent mention of CC clothing...

It seems a large number of gun people say they are wearing Shorts and T-Shirts... I'm beginning to think this is an "East of I-35 Texas Thing", since that part of the country has a lot of urban areas.

My travels and living in the Western part of Texas have rarely seen anyone wearing Shorts and T-Shirts in warmer weather. In the Farming and Ranching areas, people are wearing Wranglers or Levis and generally western shirts. A few will wear a shirt un-tucked, (e.g., T-Shirt with Jeans). When people in these parts see someone wearing Shorts...they think "Tourist" or "Traveler". Of course, I'll have to exclude the UPS, FedEx, and USPS employees who will wear Uniform Shorts in the summer.

Comments, anyone? Inquiring Minds Want to Know...lol.
