  1. Americana meets the Aussie bush

    Trying to get some bread in a cafe on Bellingen's main drag. Once the obstacle course of the packs of dogs on extendable leads are overcome it is time for waiting in a long queue on a Saturday. Many hipster families are there to have breakfast done for them.

    One set was showcasing their three toddlers in a full 'American Western-inspired aesthetic', cowboy hats and boots. Mum had that Instagrammable ‘Mar-a-Lago face’.

    Wide-brimmed hats are ideal to protect oneself from Australia's sun, but this was in the comfort zone of a cafe.

    The "cowboy core" aesthetic facade harks back to the wide‑open‑spaces where cattle-herders (cowboys, stockmen/ringers) managed grazing livestock, for the pastoral industry, particularly in the Australian outback or American Western frontier.

    Already in the 16th century, the Conquistadors and other Spanish settlers brought their cattle-raising traditions to Mexico and Florida.

    The Western portrayed the cowboy as an enduring cultural figure representing freedom.

    So why are these urban folks from the suburbs running around in 'costumes' looking like pastoralist workers from a mythical past? What 'sense of belonging' do they buy?

    Maybe the fashionable habitus points to a vibe shift of the wannabe cowboys expressing preemptive subordination or imperial obsequiousness?

  6. My mission today was to see my first Nudie Suit IRL, 254 days after learning of their existence from an Alan Jackson song.

    Anyway, success. So cool!

  7. @Oceancowboy Welcome. I think you will truly enjoy this community. The best way to find things and people who interest you is to use hashtags. So, you may be interested in #books or #fractalart or #westernwear or IDK what you like particularly, but give it a whirl. Let me know if I can help.

  8. An interesting read - and a short one, with pictures! - with a little bit of #history and a little bit of #fashion discussion surrounding the topic of whether #WesternWear clothing is racist.

    "There's an argument here that city slickers like me are cosplaying in Westernwear. I'll leave that debate for another day, but I am generally fine with wearing stuff just because it makes me happy."

  9. Sweet, I’ll be dressed fashionably while this trend lasts. I’ve always dressed somewhere along the lines of lumberjack/cowboy (sans hat).
