This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

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)

The working cowboys tend to dark jeans that show the dirt less.
