What Your Favourite Western Brand Says About You
Ever wondered what your choice of Western brand says about you? Well, buckle up, cowboys and cowgirls, here is the ultimate guide!
Ariat
You love to burn your money on two things: Western boots and horses. You’re the kind of person who sees a barn and immediately thinks of a potential dance floor.
Boots to you are a need, not a want (that's what you tell your other half anyway!). You can be found on any given day out in the middle of nowhere, just you and your horse....Unless you are required to work to pay for your two biggest obsessions, In which case, you will be slaving the day away while mentally purchasing your next pair of Western boots (or horse)! You are also the sort most likely to run an equestrian page on Instagram.
R.M. Williams
You have a refined taste for the finer things in life—like the perfect pair of boots that make you look like you have just stepped out of a GQ magazine… or from Allingtons. You can do it all, from the farm to the office, and you hate getting your new boots dirty!
You re-sole a dozen times before you admit you need a new pair of boots, even then, you refuse to send them to the scrap heap. This is why R.M Williams lovers tend to have the biggest boot collections.
Roper
You were born in Australia, but you’re a true Texan at heart. Our fans of Roper and their “wear the west” attitude have brought all the swagger of the states to the land down under. Kind of a John Wayne, Crocodile Dundee fusion!
Light up a campfire and you turn into Luke Combs, although “he doesn’t sound as good” as you do of course. You're not quite sure whether you want to commit to the ways of the West 'cos your still just a little bit country at heart.
Wrangler
Wrangler butts drive you nuts! You’re a classic Western no-nonsense type operator. You can’t resist a new pair of jeans and the 'snap' of the buttons on your new Western shirt gets the heart racing! You’ve never missed a rodeo, you see yourself as the 'true' Western trendsetter.
A good night out means dust on the boots, dirt on the jeans and never missing the opportunity to have a boogie.
You’re never spotted without your denim, and you’ve been known to rock the Canadian Tux (not a crime!).
No one has seen you without your Bangora since 4th grade.
Ringers Western
You're the clown of the friendship group who always comes up with the plan for the night, however, it's never executed in quite the same way it was sold, but the fun is had regardless.
Ringers Western lovers are the life of the party. You’ve got all the style and confidence to match.
Can be known to break a few hearts and a few rules!
John Deere
Often gets caught down the Youtube rabbit holes ranking John Deere machinery and farming equipment.
Your favourite colour is John Deere green and you can’t resist the call of a tractor – whether it’s lifesized or toy-sized.
The most hardworking on the farm, and everyone is jealous of your tan. You struggle to remember your wife's birthday but you sure know the date the harvester, tractor, loader and ute are due for their service.
Pure Western
Like Whiskey mixed with Gin and Tonic, you love the traditional Western style with a modern twist.
You have more Pure Western jeans than underwear, and never fail the vibe check. You can wear a skinny jean as good as a boot cut and that simple carefree style looks effortless.
You also aren’t afraid of some of that famous bling on your booty, with a style to match any outfit.
Outback Trading
Think Amy from Heartland and Monica from Yellowstone. Aztec designs, blanket stitch and heavy woolen coats. Strong-willed with a sweet nature and looking classy all the way.
Need a reference for the fellas? Try Jack, Tim, and Kacey: Oilskin, drill and heavy duty Jackets. You might look a bit rough around the edges, but you are solid and genuine with a big heart.
And if you have no idea what I'm talking about Google it! I'm sure you will find yourself in one of these characters, especially if Outback Trading is your brand of choice.
Thomas Cook
If Thomas Cook is your go-to, you're the epitome of a classic Australian style.
You can ride a horse or a tractor, and you’re not afraid to show the young fellas how it’s done. You are also the type to be enjoying the fruits of your hard-working life.
Your clothes can transition from the Pony Club to the CWA with ease. This brand is the most versatile out there. Worn by young and old. There isn't really a specific 'type' for this brand. At a push, i'd say it depicts the true Australian rural lifestyle. So if you have country running through your veins, this brand is for you.
