Highwall Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 How has SASS influenced the way you dress each day? I have 5 vests, denim. leather and cotton (all with lapels) I've always worn them to church, and other events Since retiring I wear them now from October thru April (our summers are too hot otherwise). Jeans and cowboy boots have been a part of my life since age 4. The only thing I think SASS has helped me with is to rid myself of non-leather goods like holsters and knife sheaths like Kydex. nylon, plastic and Faux leather that I had collected over the years.. I decided they just didn't fit my true MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I've dressed western most of my life and still do. From work wear to sorta dressy. Nothing makes being "fashionable" easier. I did it myself before SASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It's hot in Georgia. I wear shorts and t shirts every day now that I'm retired. My t shirts are either from larger Cowboy matches or State Parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I’ve always worn whatever was clean and handy. Typically shorts, a t shirt and tennis shoes, maybe a Hawaiian shirt if I’m carrying my Commander. If it’s cold I replace the shorts with jeans and the Hawaiian shirt with a jacket. That hasn’t changed. No way I’m wearing boots if I don’t have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grass Range Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Lifetime of boots and jeans. Never a T shirt either alone or under a real shirt. A Tshirt is underwear anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Since I've been involved with CAS over half my life, I can say it hasn't changed my attire much. Since I gave up my life in an office or a uniform, I quit wearing my dress boots, except on special occasions. My casual and most of my work attire now consists of walking style boots (crepe soles predominantly), snap western or hawaiian shirts. Since my angst over being a VN vet morphed into pride, cowboy hats have given way to service affiliated ball caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I was a boots and jeans guy before I got involved in SASS. Now because of ARTHUR RITIS, I only wear the boots when I'm on the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Most days, I am working either with or on equipment. My attire doesn't matter. Its almost always covered in red grease and heavy dust. On my feet are heavy Whites logging boots for snake protection. When I'm not working, Im usually wearing wranglers and some kind of T-shirt, or my "go to town" clothes similar to the casual clothes I wore to my office before "R-Day".

I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Shorts and t-shirts for me in the summer and maybe jeans when it's 60 or below down here in FL. I got used to the warm weather down here. Otherwise, cowboy duds when doing CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Eye Jake Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Boots, jeans, western shirt, vest and cowboy hat is my everyday and church attire. Felt hat for fall winter and spring, straw for summer. Vest all the time except summer. Always wore jeans and western shirts with a farmer's cap. Since started cowboy shooting I switched to a hat and added the vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Grey or black T-shirt and jeans or overalls. Works on the job or on the bike or just loafing. I used to wear heavy, lace up boots, usually with steel toes because I worked where heavy stuff could land on my feet and road hazards could get to ‘em on the bike. I’d wear good cowboy boots for dress and a better black T-shirt for dress and I made sure my jeans didn’t have holes in ‘em. The only thing that has changed is my footwear. I have been mostly wearing a walking boot off and on for the last five plus years on my left foot and whatever would level up to it on my right. Reckon I’ll figure out what I can wear on my feet now, since I don’t need the walking boot. That’s if I can keep the bad foot healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shoer 27979 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have worn jeans and t shirts my whole life and either cowboy boots or work boots, but since I retired last year all it has been is swear pants and flip flops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm working (part time) I wear jeans, regular shoes like Rockports and a shirt with a collar and vest pocket. Whem I'm shooting CAS it's jeans, cowboy hat, shirt, boots.

Highwall Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 I'm flying with my daughter to Seattle next week to celebrate my mom's 100th birthday. The daughter asked what I was going to wear on the plane (hoping it was not too western.) I told her Levi jeans with a denim pearl snap shirt, and a Wyoming leather vest. She then said we might need to have separate seats. I said hey! at least I'm leaving my boots behind. The airport screen detectors hate them! I once was almost strip searched because my boots had a metal insert support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highwall Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Okay my daughter and I officially have separate seats on our flight to Seattle for my mom's 100th birthday just because I look like this!

Mustang Gregg Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I wore BDU's, ACU's and flight suits for 29 years. So every day, uniforms were mandatory. LOL. But I'm kind-of-retired now, working back on the ranch. So I wear western clothes or work overalls daily. And occasionally we have gone to Church wearing our best Sunday SASS duds.
