The Picard ManeuverYou have to love Japan's image of the US.
maleanWait! They don’t ?!
I guess some do.
You might see this in the south, especially at a lake or beach.
TexasDrunkI saw two different women wearing something similar last night. The cowboy hats were those cheap distressed straw hats, though.
TBF felt hats are stupid hot and with the heat we’ve had ain’t no one gonna wear a hat like that. If I could find a good star cattleman hat I’d be happy, but I haven’t had any luck myself
I’m a pinch front guy so I’m no help there. I’ve got a Stampede straw pinch front that’s super comfortable and has lasted me probably 10 years so far but they don’t make it anymore and I have no idea what their quality is these days.
I’m pretty sure Stetson (the company) makes them, but I’m not sure if Im going to pony the cash up without checking out a hat first. I actually do want a straw one - my cattleman is black felt with a silver clasp, so it looks kind of silly without my frock coat (or at least white shirt and black pants, looks too formal).
Actually I was curious just now and it looks like they sell at a store in town (in Minnesota!) so I’ll have to check it out.
My dad also likes the pinch front, he always claimed it was easier on the crown.
I don’t know if it’s easier on the crown, I just know that I feel like it looks better with my face.
Stetson makes a good hat. I’ve got one of their black buffalo hats but I’m not home to look at the model. It’s one of the low end ones so probably a 4x? I’ve also got one of their 10x that I had the crown reshaped on because I loved the fit but it was a cattleman.
The funny thing is I don’t really wear them in public except on stage so I tend to wear the cheap ones (that’s where the Stampede does its job) so that if it gets messed up I don’t care so the ones I use are all naturally distressed from being abused. I think I’ve worn the good one twice outside of the house, once to a country themed wedding and once to a funeral for an old rancher. I’ve also got a straw and a wool one that I wear out to my buddy’s ranch with drawstrings just to keep the sun off.
Now that I’ve said it out loud, I realize I have too many fucking hats.
I like them just because they aren’t a baseball cap and a bit fancier way to hide my rat nest.
They definitely do. It just depends on the time of year and area.
I mean if you don’t own a Stetson are you even from the states?
What do you wear riding your horse into the city to sign that paperwork for the new drill site?
If they’ve seen country music videos you can’t really blame them.
solsangraalLOL americans don’t spend time “perfecting my craft,” we spend time getting some other cunt to do all the work for us
dual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️I.e. hiring some Mexicans to do it, and then bitching about Mexicans stealing our jobs.
no lie, i saw a bumper sticker that said “this is america, speak english!”
it was on the back of an isuzu hombre
Yeah, because immigrants do it cheaper than domestic labor. Its not rocket science, theyre scabs.
Damn, you’re so close, yet somehow completely missed the fucking target.
What, the government is allowing illegal immigrants to come in for the implicit purpose to work cheaper than Americans. Its true that a lot of people are misdirecting some of their anger, but theres still a lot of anger at the government
Oh, you’ve deviated from landing on the point rather quickly.
Why can’t you anti-immigrant people just say the quiet part aloud?
**You.
Hate.
Brown.
Immigrants. **
And despite the fact that corporations are the bad guy, you still somehow blame the god-damned government. Corporations are the ones hiring immigrants and not citizens. They are the ones lobbying the government you so despise (unless military for some fucking reason - but okay with the VA getting gutted, because gubment). They are the ones polluting our planet.
Hell, we just had a border bill get blocked by Reps, despite said bill being everything they wanted. Because dear leader Fuckface 45 wasn’t gonna get credit, so his minions fell in line like the god-damned lemmings they are.
At every. fucking. turn. republicans and corporations are the main culprit for all the bad shit going on in this country and every time “bOtH siDeS” is the refrain from the ignorant and bigoted.
But you don’t care, because fear and hatred are more powerful and deep rooted, and because someone painted a target for you, you’re gonna shoot at that.
Instead of questioning why you hate people you’ve never met.
Right well that’s all completely bullshit. I’m just going to block you for my sanity.
Dumbass
Nah. We spend all our time making sure that the other person can’t do the work. The worst fucking thing on earth is someone allowed to actually just do their job.

SkullgridI’ve seen ironing boards with bigger tits
I bet she only fucks in missionary position. Why not reverse cowgirl?
!Because you never turn your back on family!<
Oooh, burn! (but not as bad as the STD 😜)
teftI’ve been to Texas house parties. Some ladies wear these.
Also so do some men.
I like the parties you attend in Texas.
Missing my boi Ibrahim Moizoos.
Key & Peele - East/West College Bowl
Go to an offroading event of some sort. Guaranteed to see at least a few ladies wearing exactly this
I’ll take two.
I’ve seen worse depictions of Japanese girls by Americans.
I think I should see these worse depictions to make sure that you are right.
Someone has seen Food Wars.
I had to log back into my account because I’ve seen your name twice now. How dare you
Jk wassup homie
NeatoIt’s great that no matter which part you start reading first, it still makes sense.
Even better: it still makes sense in every order. Try vertical.
Even diagonals work!
This picture is from a trip to Miami. If it’s sold in America, then it’s what Americans wear. I agree with Japan.
Honestly. The only thing they got wrong is the cowboy hat, and that’s just because it’s uncommon in most areas of the states. We’ll slap the flag on anything - even things that it’s “illegal” to put the flag on according to the same rules that say that you have to burn the flag if it touches the ground, like paper napkins.
It’s actually against the flag code, which is not law. So it’s at worst deeply disrespectful, depending on how seriously you take that kind of thing. But we also have this freedom of expression thing going on, which includes being obnoxious or disrespectful, so one might have a hard time getting the flag code into law in the first place.
That’s why I put illegal in quotation marks. It’s not actually illegal, and few people even know what a flag code is, let alone care about what’s considered disrespectful (except when it comes to protesters burning the flag, then it’s horrible and offensive).
Besides, consumerism trumps everything, so companies will happily slap a flag on anything and everything because American jingoism will eat it up.
It’s not illegal, isn’t just ‘against flag code’ which is not and can not be law.
Funny enough, burning the flag is the proper way to dispose of damaged garbage flags, according to flag code. Those damned anarchists and their proper flag disposal
As I said in another comment, that’s why I put illegal in quotation marks. I honestly couldn’t come up with the right term, so I just went for the sarcastic air quotes instead.
As for the flag burning, you and I are on the exact same wavelength there. I commented on that in my other comment, too!
We should incorporate a titty exception into our flag code.
As a Dallas resident, I’d assert that the cowboy hat is a fairly common accessory for women. Not so much for men until you get way out into the rural areas. (Fort Worth Stockyards notwithstanding)
Sure, but Dallas ain’t the east or west coasts, and even in the Midwest, it’s probably pretty spotty from one locale to the next on whether or not you’ll see them being worn. I think big straw/woven sun hats are probably more uniformly worn across the country than cowboy hats.
Now, if we were talking about baseball caps with a sports logo on it, then I’d say it’s as endemic to every corner of the country as oxygen is.
That bikini top is absolutely the wrong size for that mannequin. It should be wearing a much larger cup size. If that were on a woman with the same proportions it would be as uncomfy as hell. Of course, I highly doubt the shop even stocks the mannequin’s size at all because very few people have that big a cup size. So really the problem is that’s a shitty mannequin.
She’d slosh impressively though, if she wasn’t made of fiberglass anyway.
Margot RobbieDear Japan: not all white women look or dress like Tina Armstrong from Dead or Alive.
See, I look nothing like this:
And also for your information, that is clearly a picture of uh, “American actress Jaime Pressly” who is totally a completely different person.
