Peace,

Peace,
Greg | Also that fact that they are super comfortable all day comes into play. And you don't have to tie them. |

-Mike | Yep.
I own several pairs, I've ridden horse AND drove cattle - and not on a dude ranch either. (too bad I'm seriously allergic to horses)

BTW, Cowboy is not limited by color. I have seen a japanese cowboy. Funny lookin' feller, but he did a pretty good job of herding the cattle around.
Peace,
Greg
