Cowboy boots- A few do, but many more wear work boots.

Stetson hats- Not often, as they're too hot. Some guys wear straw cowboy hats, but baseball caps are much more common.

Dusters- They had a brief period of popularity here until people found out how hot they are. If you want to see guys wearing dusters, watch a Spaghetti Western.

Tight Wrangler jeans- A handful of very thin guys look good in Wranglers, but everyone else prefers Levis.

Big belt buckles- These were never "in style" in the South. If you wear one here, you'll be laughed at. Openly.

...have Copenhagen snuff rings in their back pocket- Sadly, that one's true.
