Every now and then, I look at questions in my logs which indicate what people are entering into search engines and then produce a page or two from my website or this blog for answers.<\/p>\n
Here are the latest “can” questions — as in “can I” or “can you” … well, you “can” but the real question is, “do you want to?”
\n
\nQ. Can big men wear leather?<\/p>\n
A. Yes. But big men should know that leather does not hide the “big.” In fact, leather that is straining at its closures (waist, belt, snaps, zippers) is obvious and does not look good. If you are a bigger guy and want to wear leather, then purchase leather fitted for your current size — not what you wore ten years ago.<\/p>\n
Q. Can men wear leather pants?<\/p>\n
A. Yes. I do regularly and no one … NO ONE … says a word, including several elderly ladies who I take grocery shopping each week.<\/p>\n
Q. Can you wear leather and not be a rock star?<\/p>\n
A. Yes. See above (I am NO rock star! LOL!)<\/p>\n
Q. Can I take boots with me while traveling in the carry on baggage?<\/p>\n
A. Of course you can. Boots may take up room in your carry-on that you would rather have for something else, like books to read, a laptop computer, tablet, or other electronic time-passers. As for me, I always carry a complete change of clothes in my carry-on bag because I have experienced my checked bag being lost by the airline on three different occasions. But boots are not on the TSA prohibited list, so you can put boots in a carry-on bag if you want to.<\/p>\n
Q. Can I wear brown cowboy boots with a navy suit?<\/p>\n
A. Yes, and no one except you will notice or care. <\/p>\n
Q. Can I wear my cowboy boots in the rain?<\/p>\n
A. Well… yes or no. It depends on what the boots are made of. If you have regular cowhide leather boots that have been properly treated with polish or leather conditioner, then your boots probably will not be damaged if you wear them in the rain. If you have boots with exotic skins with scales (snake, lizard, alligator), then do NOT get those boots wet. Once scales get wet, they curl and will not “uncurl” when they dry. <\/p>\n
Q. Can you wear a black cowboy hat with brown boots?<\/p>\n
A. Yes, and no one except you will notice or care.<\/p>\n
Q. Can you wear cowboy boots to work in the mud?<\/p>\n
A. Well… yes or no. It depends. Leather boots can withstand mud better than boots made of other material. If you have really cheap boots made of plastic (that’s what “man made materials” means), then even better. Do not wear boots with exotic skins or fancy stitching or bright colors in the mud–the skins will be damaged beyond repair and the colors will be muted or turned mud-colored. Remember, boots originally were designed to be worn in all sorts of conditions — rain, mud, snow. When you’re done muddin’: clean off your boots, let them dry naturally (not using a fan or blow-dryer), and treat them with good quality conditioner.<\/p>\n
Q. Can you wear cowboy boots with white jeans?<\/p>\n
A. Yes (more applicable, I think, for women than men.)<\/p>\n
And best of all —<\/p>\n
Q. Can you wear boots on your feet?<\/p>\n
A. Yes, absolutely! So much better than wearing boots on your head, hands, or …<\/p>\n
Life is short: wear boots!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
