How and why has the American cowboy fashion/culture persisted for so long up until our current decade? Every decade has a fashion and culture that later we come to our senses about. But not the cowboy apparently.

    I cant say anything about fashion, but cowboy culture still exists because there are still quite a few working cowboys and ranches out west.

Simple: we still have cowboys, therefore we still have their clothing.



"Cowboy fashion" is entirely pragmatic. The jeans, overalls, hats, wide belts, boots, handkercheifs, etc., all serve a variety of practical functions for people on a ranch. Many of them are practical for rural inhabitants, whether they work on a ranch or not. When I was living in rural Texas, for example, I had both a hat (because it was good for both rain and sun), and cowboy boots (because they protect your lower legs and are easy to clean).
