You can tell he's not in Texas because he would have a heat stroke in that leather jacket.
If he'd gone and bought a cowboy hat in the last few weeks, they would've at least attempted to sell him a summer hat (straw) instead of a winter hat (felt). Not definitive but strange.
Considering the jacket, I doubt this is a summer outfit. Assuming it’s even remotely real, of course.
Also… I don’t really feel ‘no felt in summer’ to be a hard rule. I picked up an Australian Akubra Coolabah hat in felt a couple months ago and am currently wearing it in 82 F / 28 C weather. Plenty of actual Australians wear felt Akubras year round. It’s like bringing your own giant tree with you in terms of shade.
Coming from poly/cotton boonies, the felt Akubra is perfectly fine to wear for me. It helps that it’s a light color and properly vented, of course. Absolutely love the hat and will buy another eventually.
The desert can get real cold.
Texas isn't a desert.
Edit: Please read what I wrote before replying. Texas isn't a desert does not mean Texas has no desert. 90±% of the state is not desert, including where the vast majority of people live.
Not Austin at least. Maybe if you go 100 miles West of there.
That depends on where you are in Texas. The westernmost parts are definitely desert.
Yeah and that's not where the people or cattle live, minus El Paso. Texas is <10% desert. To act like the whole state is a desert is straight up wrong, yet annoyingly common for people who have never been here.
Deaf Smith disagrees.
