Practicality and Purpose in Riding Clothes 

Function over fashion, always! Works for bikers as well as horsemen.

I brazilian and don't speak/write very well english language but i follow your teaching. Great video my friend!

Im glad that you're a man of experience, Im knocking on 70 and all my life I've worn long sleeve shirts and big brimmed hat's! I live in south texas and heat is extreme had lots of idiot's make fun of me but now they're having skin cancer problems!! So you're a man that knows!!!

Function over form/fashion is a great phrase for hikers as well. I live in northern New Hampshire and tourists are often very underprepared for the mountains up here. Great video as always Dwayne, praying everyone finds peace and love in their lives!❤

That view behind you. That is beautiful. I think in every profession, many after several years forget about what it's like when you're perhaps just breaking into the profession, or you're an outsider just looking to get a taste of it for a week, then you're really uninformed. I think communication solves a lot. We don't seem to want to take the time to stop and just Q&A on the phone or via videocall for 30 minutes with a group to resolve a lot of concerns, but that takes a lot of weight off someone. I'm full of doubts and concerns and questions, and I'm a mess if I feel unprepared or behind the curve. It's on us with the knowledge to communicate and get people squared away. It helps more than most realize, for them AND for you.

Hi Dewayne & Deanna! I found you a few days ago and in 4 days your channel has grown SO fast… 4000+ new subscribers in 4 days😂! Congratulations! I’m binge watching loving and learning some wonderful wisdom from you both, thank you🙏❤️

Good to see you laughing and jesting and making your wife happy 👍🇨🇴🇺🇸 Greetings from NJ

Thanks for the sharing of wisdom. Thank you for putting some common back in common sense

I gotta tell ya. I love yall. My wife loves yall. You are one of the main reasons I've gotten to where I am in the last 2 years or so. You gave me advice over email a while back and I took it. When you were I'm tennessee I was in montana. Now that your in whyoming, I'm in missouri. But I tell ya, as soon as I can ima come see you guys for a class. Or even just to give you free labor. You have become one of my dearest heros and I don't say it lightly. God bless yall and I hope to see ya soon. Ish.

Uhhh! Now this is 'delivery-just-in-time', planned on heading out to get gear next week🙂Thanks, Dewayne. And happy new week!

Thank you for the info! I'm a gardener with a flock of laying hens, compost piles and a couple dogs in Texas. I bought wide toe cowboy boots for comfort, stability and protection from red ants, thorns, brush, much and other bugs - not for riding. It confuses gardeners and cattle types, but for me it's call about function. I can clean off those boots in 30 seconds, but gardener shoes are always filthy with that mesh and suede on them. Let 'em not understand; I know why I need 'em. But the hat info is priceless! The humid heat here explains why many switch to straw hats in summer. Otherwise, the felt are definitely preferred.

Thank you for all you do

That thin cheap slicker has saved me more times than I can count. I carry one every time I climb in the Saddle. I only carry the heavy outback style in colder winter. For anyone looking just be sure whatever jacket you would be wearing that these will fit over top. They offer dry but not much in warmth.

Not a cigar smoker but grew up in Connecticut and drove though the shade tobacco farms many times and seeing the tobacco growing in the shade and then hanging in the tobacco sheds to dry, I remember back in the 90's there was a surge in cigars and they were actually building new sheds.

Thank you Dewane, very informative . Good luck with your school, from Israel in the stormy middle east❤

One of my big wishes is to visit the USA and to visit you in ypur ranch ..Saad, Baghdad, Iraq

Great information! Same thing in construction! You learn real fast what works! Always look at what the old timers have on! Knee pads will save you in the long run trust me

Every time. It never fails! The greatest! God bless you!

In Texas the long sleeves are also for protection from all the brush we ride through.

Thank you for all you do man

Another enjoyable video,Dwayne. Great topic, your clothing, when working is Another tool, get right tools. Enjoying a OLIVIA HELLION. I get one occasionally nice change. Enjoyed the meadow below, great view. Thanks again & good luck with next school.

i love u bbg thank u for clearing my mental state lots of love from va !!!!!

"A hat's like an old friend." I couldn't agree more. Great video sir!

cowboys in south Texas like our Sunbody hats out of Houston; looking forward to mommas next video, happy trails and God bless.

Love your videos ❤️Please don’t miss the big leather show in town in a few weeks. You won’t be sorry ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks, Dwayne👍👍👍

Awesome as Always

Haven’t been on a horse since my grandfather passed and they literally sold the ranch and everything on it including my pony. But I ride a motorcycle and I’m a crane rigger on the shore line and I tell all the young kids the same thing, but the best weather protection you can afford. Your comfort and your wallet will appreciate it not have to replace cheap gear after every storm

Such a Beautiful place Dwayne.✅ And just think, no more interstate traffic noise, no truck compression brake noise.

Oh I hope you share the brands and where to find these clothes! I’ve been needing to replace clothes in my wardrobe and this is exactly my philosophy. Thank you!

Never been a horseman but always loved the so called cowboy hat and boots. Quality full leather boots keep my feet dryer and the shape is the most comfortable I’ve found for walking and climbing ladders and for the hat without one my ears and neck burn something bad. The amount crap I catch for western ware I’ll take for the way it out functions all other clothing. And a duster with a rain fly is one of the best pieces of clothing I own, summer to winter it can be layered to fit the temperature to keep the wind and rain at bay. Nothing worse then leaning over to work on something and cold wet breeze blow up your back side.

I like that iron gate!

Thank you so much.

I'm Venezuelan guy and i don't write English good , but i follow your Chanel is more interesting than any other tik tok stuff

Had a hat-induced blow up this past Saturday. We rode past a mountain lion kill and the horses were all on edge. Wind gust came up and blew my 9 yr olds cowboy hat off and it landed right at my horses feet. The very green mustang I was riding came unglued. This caused my 13 yr old sons mare to freak out too. We were both able to get them pulled around and settled down, but not without a few crow-hops and circles. My youngest son's hat is one of those universal fit with the elastic hat band, so it has a stampede string now.

Great looking place

In California we wear baseball caps for riding 💛 straw hats...felted for comps...jeans boots and shirts...depending on the weather 😊

Thank you.

Great video

good info thank you... I just ordered a hat from Herring custom hats .. he's very good.

My good ole Resistol fits like a Glove and i immediately Stop, bc I know a part o me is missing!!, I understand good ole friends.. thanks for bringing it Wayne..

Very informative never thought small things could make a big difference like the wrinkles on your jeans 🤙🏼

I wear a stretchy shirt and khakis when I work and it’s comfy and durable

🇺🇸🇵🇷🇵🇪😎 🐎🐴 Been with you from the beginning of the videos, Going back to basics is great, No dollar gun's chapps and spurs... But the wisdom is when you really set that look! Keep it up❤

Morning Dewayne!

I’ve found that the wranglers quality has gone down & they just don’t last me as long as they used to… I ride about 300 miles a week in east TN in the mountains. Been wearing the TSC ridge cut dungarees for about a year and they seem to hold up well.. the front pockets are really deep to so don’t worry about things working their way out on the trail… also no rivets on the pockets which seems to be where my wranglers wear through

Works for fisherwomen and men too! Imagine that! Hi from Australia!

My grandpa wore heavy wool long sleeve shirts and pants year round !

Yeah man I love my Habanero Chocolate Cigars! I just put my order in ! They ran out of yours so I got 4.5 x52

I just read a great quote I think you will agree with ," A real cowboy never blames his horse"

I redid my wardrobe a few years ago, I needed clothes that worked for me, mainly boots. I was tired of dropping big money on shoes, boots last forever.

Awh mommas giggle behind the camera when the axe fell from the tree 😂😂

Its funny cause i only recently realized that Wrangler jeans originated from Cowboys. I aint much of a cowboy at all, im born and raised in the city, but i just wear em for fashion. Honestly i think the straight fit simple straight fit blue jean look is way better than whatever else is fashionable atm. So perhaps you can be Practical and fashionable at the same time

As much as I love my cowboy hat, we ride as a family in helmets these days. Function over fashion in that case for sure but more western riders are getting comfortable with it, especially for certain activities. It does mean though that you need some sunscreen to make up for the lack of a good hat brim! ;)

I have worn 13 WD wrangler jeans for years. I find the wear point is on my right knee at an angle a couple inches over the knee. Never could figure it out other than it is on a stretch point due to my thigh size. I still love them. Buy them a two or three inches long so when you get on a horse their cuffs don't go the top of your boots. Horseman spec.

I had a friend who wore her bedazzled jeans riding. They scratched the tar out of the seat of her saddle. She learned her lesson

Nothing wrong with a leather stampede string on your hat. Especially if it saves you buying a round of drinks! And from my personal experience, a felt hat isn't really all that much hotter once you are used to it because if you keep the sun off your face, you're already going to feel cooler.

I remember my first ride, I didn’t have chaps n got strapped legs. Keep your fluids up, I seen one poor girl fainted lucky she wasn’t on the horse.

Felt all the way!

Kilroy was here (well even if it is a “shameless plug” You picked a good one. Unlike some other Videographer is we shall not name…)

Really enjoyed your video you

I suggest mentioning footwear be a smooth sole or non aggressive sole with smooth sides.

I buy all my clothing through outback trading . The climate in new Zealand is intense. Summer is hot and winter is cold . I can't praise outback trading enough for their quality gear.

The comfort goes first then the looks come. I do a lot of hiking and caving and good clothing for the situations is a must, i dont care about the looks really

I am sorry, but this man could stay there and just speak about bees, and I will still stay and listen to him, because of his accent and all that old American country vibe that I have been growing up with like an European kid and still loving it so much with the desire that maybe some day I will be able to buy a place in one of those parts of the world, and live a peaceful and happy life when I will become old, in a small farm.

5:00 This... Some reason my straw (a nice resistol) just does not want to stay on in wind. Love the hat, just cant wear it in the wind, AND i made sure it was the correct it.

Trade the Buck 110 for Amber bone Case trapper maybe? Moore Maker? Boker? Carbons steel? I’m a knife guy, lol..

Morning Dewayne

Wish I lived in your area to go to this school but not possible hahaha

i buy my clothes (except my socks, maybe undershirts, and sneakers) to be high quality and durable. I only buy black pants and blue jeans. I did this even when i worked in an office - always higher quality buisness attire. I would rather pay MORE for clothes that last than junk clothing. I also have a "uniform" i wear daily. always black pants and black shoes OR hiking boots. Matches everything. Same when i was in an office. Black pants, black socks, black shoes, black belt, black suspenders. Any short matches, and any sport coat worked.

Has there ever been mention on where he gets his vests from? Have always loved them

Get my man on Rogan!

A school for wranglers? Seriously? I was Raised on 2,200 working ranch, it is a way of life,....., I'm just so blown away there's an actual edu loan to start this kind of school??? this, this blows me away. A school for wranglers!! Holy crap. I gotta get my pops to see this channel. he's gunna love this...

Good morning!

I'd love to see a video about your belt knife that you always carry!

For the equestrians, it’s understandable that you’re going to go back to the basics (I understand), but I hope you’ll still do the metaphorical, opinion and philosophical talks!

I need to spend some time working on a farm and learn the true meaning of hard work. 30 years old and have honestly wasted most of my adult life.

Question for Dewayne about hats: how did the felt hat do in Tennessee summer humidity?

I've been wondering. Where do you get all of those dapper vests? Are they thrift store, vintage, or is there a brand that makes them. Hat's lookin great btw. 🤠

Hey Dewayne, have you tried the BLACKENED M81 Maduro Robusto By Drew Estate? This is the official Metallica Cigar!!! 🤘

Jeans are very, um, diverse in construction for a reason. Those Wranglers are *torture* to me...but, I've owned (Los Angeles thrift store) a tailored pair of Arnold Schwarzenegger's pants that fit me perfectly, to give you an idea. Get something that *fits you.* Our host has legs that Wranglers work on. You might have to shop harder,but he told you what you want for riding.

I was wondering if you have any opinion on the newer Wrangler 47MWZ jeans in comparison to the 13MWZ?

My grandpa wears a cowboy hat his dad had and he gives to me or anyone who doesn’t have a hat to do work in the sun it’s wide brim old thing

Thanks, Dwayne! Might I ask; what watch are you wearing?

The real Arthur Morgan😂

Anyone have suggestions for long sleeved collard shirts for the extreme heat aswell as other products and tips for the feild any help would be very appriciated!

Is that the bunkhouse behind Dwayne where we are sleeping?

Do you wear an undershirt under the long sleeve? How do you stay cool in the summer heat with the long sleeve and jeans and boots!!

0:23 Hey old boy, if you don't learn- then you are stuck. Even at your age you should be learning. And don't be shy of saying that. Being humble sometimes helps.

Morning

Another good one DeWayne. Does anybody know of an American made Slicker? Or at least one from anywhere but China?

I just clicked the video randomly, but i noticed that this guy greatly resembles Arthur morgan from RDR 2.

👍🏻🇦🇺💯

i miss the man talk / life talk. i think you took that to another channel or platform ? :(

Hey Dwayne are y'all possibly looking for Wrangler instructors? Im 29 and have been wrangling since i was 18.

Chin straps!!

I'm looking for work. Any available out there?

Howdy

Do u have to wear jeans. If not any alternatives? Never been a jeans guy
