Why do cowboys always wear plaid shirts and tight wrangler jeans?

[dbarrow7777]

And their shirts are always tucked in to. What’s white that?

Professional cowboys do not wear tight fitting clothes. Ride a horse and you will get why. As for the tucked in part, for function - shirt not getting in the way while doing cowboy work. As for the plaid, some do, some do not. Most live in Carhartt just because it's available and decently durable.

Hipsters wear plaid and tight jeans
Real “cowboys” wear worn out coveralls and t-shirts with holes in them.
