I have been inspired by Jake over at Livin’ It Up In Arkansas to come out of the jean closet. Yes, it’s true confession time. You may remember a few months back I confessed that one of my favorite authors was western writer Louis L’Amour. Well I guess this could be called Part 2 of my “Cowboy Clothing Confession”. Alright, here we go. This is a picture of the 
favorite pair of jeans I own.
If you can’t see the label from the picture, here is a closeup. Yes, they are the classic Wrangler Cowboy Cut jean, unchanged since they were first made in 1947. Why do I like them you may ask. Well, when I’m working on something outside, around the house, etc. you can bend over without pulling a “plumber butt”. They ride up high. I guess this makes sense for me because my kids have been telling me I wear my pants too high for years. I also like them because they last a long time and they are inexpensive.
So, what does a man wear with his Wrangler Cowboy cut jeans? Tennis shoes? NO Flip-flops? WHAT! Wing tips? YEAH, RIGHT. No, a real man wears western boots. Not the fake ones with zippers on the side, I’m talking about a real manly work b
oot. So, here’s a picture of my manly boot of choice. The Branson Roper by Rocky Boots. Honestly, I have to say it is without a doubt the most comfortable footwear I own. There you have it ladys and gents, my Cowboy Clothing Confession. Yee Haw!

I can testify that all is true. I must say that thankfully he wears this outfit to work on Nate’s house or work around our house but not just for general wear. THAT would freak me out a bit. As for the future? Well he keeps talking about getting chickens, turkeys, cows and a couple of horses! Yikes!!

Dad! I love it! HA! HA! I think that we are all looking a little more “cowboyish” lately….we just can’t help it! Those boots look so familiar…..oh yeah! Nate has those too, thanks to you and mom! He loves them and thinks they are quite comfy as well!! :o) Now all he needs is a pair of those wranglers!!

alright first off…kevin you are defiantly a “hick”…lord have mercy it is true, you become the environment you live in…LOL
Susan has scorned me for not posting on your site or hers…so I shall end my days of “lurking” thru the chronicles of the Arkansas hillbilly Family known as the Fletcher / Schlegel clan and begin to interact with those I have laughed at from afar!
In the words of Lightning McQueen “Help my IQ is dropping by the minute!” …hehehe!
Seriously though…you guys are the best and I am so excited for you and a little jealous that you live out in the sticks…my old stomping ground…the hills of Arkansas!

I’m pretty sure Brett Favre wears those jeans. Or at least endorses them.
And he’s a man’s man. He’s got hair all over his back.
So be ye not ashamed of your man jeans.

I would just like to take the time out to thank God for bootleg/baggy jeans. They give a whole new meaning to “Free at Last.” (lol)
