Regarding feminism, a story: A man in a big city held a door for a young lady. She proceeded to inform him that he didn't have to hold the door for her just because she was a woman. He replied that he didn't. He held it because he was a gentleman. Chivalry is not dead to those who choose to practice it.
I'm a woman, and i hold the door open for everybody, man, woman ,child, disabled, old, whatever....not just to be courteous, but i hope that someone is holding the door for me when i need it!
A number of years ago, I held the door open for a young woman who turned around and told me to "F... Off"........ I'm guessing she has 'man' problems. Just a sign of the times I suppose.
Bz
@@Dingdongwitchisdead …haha! I don’t remember what I said but most likely it was my typical “yes ma’am”
I personally hold the door for anyone. I just think it’s the polite thing to do.
I’ll never forget when I was in college and noticed a lady behind me. Went to the library and the entrance had multiple doors. So I held the door open for a few seconds and she was at a distance where I know she saw me and it was just us two.
She proceeded to walk towards another door and entered. Don’t know why she did that other than to make a point, I reckon.
I was asked “why do you wear a cowboy hat”? I had to reply that a Cowboy hat is the perfect hat. It keeps the sun out of your eyes, keeps rain off your head, gives you shade in the summer and warmth in the cold.
I just turned 73 and have a black Resistol 3XXX that my stepson, who was 5 at the time, dug out of his toy box and gave to me shortly after we first met. It was CRUSHED flat, but I knocked it out and put it on and amazingly it was a perfect fit! I reshaped it, keep it clean using a clothes brush and have proudly worn that hat most days for the past 34 years. My son can't believe I still wear that old second hand hat from his toy box.
That is a damn good story and you've made my morning bright😂resistol is such a good company I've had all kinds of different hats from them and they're still holdin up
I bet that hat has a sweet patina, did you swap out the sweat band eventually?
I’m a younger lady and I absolutely beamed at what you said about us women! Chivalry goes such a long way (respect from anyone in general) and I am so appreciative that you hold women in such high regards. You are one of the golden guys!
Yes there are a few of us older gentleman out here yet.
Lies, women want to be manipulated
When addressing a woman, My dad would say "Tip your hat to the giver of life" Enough said! Great video Dwayne.
My parents always ask me why I fell in love with the cowboy lifestyle and would rather be on a horse or around a bunch guys wearing a cowboy hat and boots then be around people they hang out with. This is why! I’ve always had the same morals and values as most of them
I feel similar when it comes to our family barbecues. I personally sit by myself or with a lady friend or… with some of the moms. I almost never sit at “the guys table” or congregate with a large group because I find that I don’t really share the same interests or talk the same or talk about women the same, etc. it’s just different.
So I allow myself to perhaps look like the oddball and just hang out on my own at those gatherings.
I was raised with four younger sisters. It was instilled in me from an early age that as the big brother I was to “look after the girls”. And I did so unconsciously. My sisters never had any “trouble” from any of my male friends nor theirs. Men are and should be the protectors of women. Some deserve it and accept it and some resent it. You know who you are. Showing respect and showing courtesy doesn’t cost extra. It’s part of the “social lubricant” that helps us get along in society. Love the vids.
👏well said brother
In the Native American way all women are to be respected and one of the main reasons is because they are the givers of life. This is why we Native Americans call earth, mother earth because earth gives life to all living creatures.
Also you forgot to mention never lay a hat on the bed LoL
My favorite every day lid is a XXXX Stetson. Not an $850 hat to be sure, but I treat it as if it were. Your advice is sound. Manners have somewhat gone out of fashion, but I still practice traditional etiquette whenever possible. I may not be able to change other people's habits, but I can still set an example.
Very good advice. Most all I have known from an early age from my Uncle Norman. He was a real live working cowboy out in Montana. One situation you didn't mention is removing your hat when theres a funeral procession passing by. Being a gentleman towards the ladies is just the right thing to do. Thank you for doing this.
Yes sir, I missed that one. Very good point and I thank you for adding it here.
I think that fell under the _take your hat off when someone's praying..._ What is a funeral other than a group's extended final prayer for the departed?
Was once in a funeral procession for a family member. As we went by a local high school baseball practice, those boys took their hats off and held them over their hearts. One of the most moving things I’ve ever seen.
I am a Texan and Floridian wearing a cowboy hat forever!
I love your comment about "Women are treasure".
WOW. Thank you. Not only for the information on hat etiquette but on the respect others and yourself. Opening a door for a lady and treating a woman as someone special is something we need to bring back into society.
We were taught cover (Marine term for "hat") etiquette in the Marine Corps. starting in boot camp. You don't wear your uniform cover indoors, ever, and if it is a non-uniform cover you take it off when the national anthem plays and place your hand over your heart. In uniform you salute cover on when it plays outdoors, cover off salute when indoors. They gave us a ton of rules for both uniform and non-uniform covers.
My second tour I had a company Gunny who was a big stickler for proper etiquette in and out of uniform, even on libbo if he caught you walking with your hands in your pockets or some other cardinal sin like walking and eating etc. you could pretty much count on spending several hours trimming the grass outside the CP with a little tiny scissors or some other useless task like filling a sandbag and then run carrying it around the CP multiple times and then dumping it out back where you started and refilling it and repeating said exercise until he got tired of watching you do it. My first tour I had a sergeant who would make you run stairs in a high rise building wearing your gas mask for etiquette violations and or because he was bored. To this day I still don't walk with my hands in my pockets.
I don’t know about the Marine Corps first hand, but in the army you keep your headgear on indoors ONLY if you’re armed. Otherwise yeah, it’s a hard rule.
@@dscott501 Marine Corps. is the same I forgot about that caveat of being armed e.g. indoor guard duty you do wear a cover indoors.
Semper Fi thanks for serving our country we truly mean it
Whether someone is holding the door for me, or I hold the door for them, I always try to smile and say, "thank you" or "your welcome (no problem, sure thing--whatever phrase you use)" It's simply about being polite to each other. And, after watching these two videos, I really do need to get a good hat again. ;) Stay safe on your ride!
Everything you said was Gospel, been wearing a Hat (cowboy hat) since I was sixteen and been doing everything you said since then (tipping hat, opening doors etc) still hold my wife’s(of thirty+ years) hand everywhere. Women are a Blessing, a gift from God himself. And a good hat is a joy, can’t afford that $800 😜one but do have a couple of real nice $300 🥰ones I cherish. God Bless Texas and America 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Thank you for the hat off in church, mom's house, praying and the national anthem.
I agree with you. America needs more people with this mindset.
If I may be frank, when I first discovered your channel I exclusively started going after the “cigar talk” type videos where you give advice and such and skipped over the horse, leather, and hat videos, etc. I am so glad I went back and started watching each video from oldest to this one because your videos teach so much more along with the thing itself you’re taking about. Never thought I’d enjoy a hat video so much because you teach of respect for others.
¡Muchas gracias por tu sabiduría!
I agree with everything you’ve said. I grew up back east (65 now) and been living out west for 45 years. One thing I do know …if I didn’t hold a door for a woman my Mother would slap me from the grave. We were all taught respect for our elders ,women ,police and those who served in the service ( for us it was the WW2 and Korean vets) Seems these days younger folks all want respect and let you know about it at the drop of a hat. And the majority of them haven’t earned a place at the back of the latrine line. A bit harsh I know .i do miss the days when respect given to those who earned it through hard work and a life well lived
My Grandmother has been dead for almost 30 years, I am still afraid of her "correction" lol.
Not disagreeing with you, but I am still "old" school. The first 2 items of clothing I was given (after a real cloth diaper) was a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Grew up on a ranch/farm. So, I never wear a hat inside. If there is a roof over my head the hat comes off. Especially in a house ( mine or anyone else) church, a courthouse or a restaurant. If I don't have a good place to sit the hat at the restaurant to protect it, I hold it in my hand any time the waitress walks by and I sit it in the chair next to me or hang it on the back of the chair if possible. I try to tip my hat at any lady as I walk by and you're right most really do appreciate it. Those that don't aren't worth discussing. Old school common courtesy is still out there its just harder to find sometimes.
I'm in the hat off inside camp. Heck, often even a ball cap. But society as a whole seems to not be about hat removal.
I have to agree with you. I didn't see anything in this video that would make want to unsubscribe but the one place I would disagree with Dewayne is the hat at the dinner table. I never say anything out loud about it but I really dislike all those that wear there ball cap, or any kind of hat, to the table, even or especially in a restaurant. A public place is where you should show your best manners, even if you are concerned about where you'll put your hat because of how much it cost. Being a little embarrassed by your hat hair is a small price to pay for good manners.
Love the comments about women. My love is very much a modern woman, but I can always see in her face the happiness when I open the car door or a door to a building. She understands my old fashioned ways and very much appreciates it.
I clicked on your video to learn how to take care of my hat, WOW. I got so much more. I greatly appreciate your comments about women and the Biblical aspect of life. I have been married to the love of my life for 53 years, Yes there were problems and heart aches but love and committment prevails. Thank you, I greatly appreciate your video.
Love my hats and love your videos i agree women are special my wife is the glue that holds our family together God Bless you sir
I have never seen your videos till now. It's only the second one that I have watched. You have gotten a new subscriber. I have a great deal of respect for you and your thoughts. Especially on etiquette and how to treat a woman. That is EXACTLY how my daddy raised me. To treat a lady with respect. I thank you for being honest about it and applaud you for your thoughts. I will be watching more of your videos but this will be my favorite. I am just an old farmer from back in the day. Had a few horses when I was young but a very good friend of mine, Bud Remmers, had a western store and he is the one who got me into cowboy hats and boots. I have worn them ever since. God bless.
As a wearer of Cowboy hats, I enjoyed your two videos on the Cowboy hats. Never go out the door without a Cowboy hat on my head. THANKS
Dry Creek Wrangler School; Well Sir, you may lose some of your subscribers but then, you've gained at least one. Me.
I just recently found your channel and I have to say, I've got a lot of video viewing to catch up on.
Someone mentioned in an earlier post about their being "Old School". Well, the same thing goes for me. I was taught at an early age to respect the Ladies. The real Ladies. No Sir, I'm not and, I don't pretend to be anything but just me. I started wearing Cowboy clothes and accoutrements when I was so young I can't remember when and, I'm now 76 years old. That's quite a spell.
Love your channel, please keep the sage advice coming our way.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.
Stan
Dear Sir, one observation when brushing with either the hat sponge or a natural fiber brush you need to mind the direction. Most hats you want to go counter clockwise around the crown and brim, front to back on top and clockwise on the underside of the brim. Reason for this is when the hat body is made the fur swirls around a conical form in one direction. You can tell if you stroke your hat it’ll feel slightly but noticeably rougher in one direction than the other. find the smooth way and keep your cleaning motion in that smooth direction, with the grain so to speak. During manufacturing hats are “pounced”, sanded, yes with sand paper to cut any fuzzy hairs and even out the felt. Periodically, a clean hat can be spruced up even removing light stains by pouncing. The best handiest thing I’ve found is the smother side of an Emory board, right, those cheap disposable nail files. Don’t ask me how a come to try that, well I play guitar and banjo so I usually have one around and one day I looked at my hat that I made myself by the way, looked at my nail file and just went at it. With the grain lightly working my way around the hat and dog gone it, it did a more than reasonable job.
Keep up the good work
Enjoyed your video, one minute into it I could see the real man.God fearing, and a cowboy 🤠.
Love all your wisdom, Dewayne!
Yes we do!!! Cowboys all know that Hallelujah!!!
Dwayne, I really enjoy your videos and these ones on hats in particular. Thanks for the great content.
All great points. Thanks for posting.
Dwayne your videos are real helpful in anything you’d need to know about wrangling, cowboying, and everything in between keep the videos coming on. Thanks,
Nick Rogers
Sir I just wanna let you know I've really been enjoying your videos. They remind me of being home while I'm away. Thanks for putting in the time to make them.
Wise words, and truth, from the heart. 🙏
Your videos are great. Advise is what this country needs. thank you
I appreciate your honesty and respect when you spoke about respect and the anthem thank you sir
Buddy, there are a lot of people in this world that need your words of wisdom. You’re refreshing to listen to, You’re right on point and I hope you keep at it. Thank you
I just found your channel and I could listen to you and your advice for hours.
Always a pleasure. Thank you sir.
Oh my golly! I so love this video for all the reasons that you express Dewayne… and thank you for treasuring Momma like a lady for us in need! ❤
Appears we have similar taste in hats. I have 2 pure beaver hats. My 1st, like yours, is a custom hat in natural beaver for the same reason and also because its just more unique. The second is a very old Stetson silver belly that I was gifted by an old country lawyer. It started life as a cattleman and I took it in to my custom hatter and had it cleaned, reconditioned, reblocked, and reshaped into a Gus. Man what a hat! Those old ones are true gems and should be rescued and worn if they can be salvaged. I asked my hatter for a tracing of the custom block when I had my had made. I used that and some old cedar to make a hat block I can put in there when it gets wet or really hot and sweaty to hold the shape and size overnight. Fortunately a lot of restaurants around here have hat hooks on the wall by the tables. I always appreciate that.
Another great video, Duane. Thank you for the great advice! All of it was good. I didn't know about the sponge. Having one for each color makes sense. It's just like a shoe or boot brush. I always thought of having a black hat, but I didn’t know that black hats bleed. Yes. Please set all cowboy and dress hats down on the crown or hang them in a manner that you don't damage the hat. I'm old school I take my hat off indoors, no matter where I am. Also, I remove my hat when someone is praying and when the National Anthem is playing. Also, I remove my hat when I eat, always - indoors or outdoors. If it's raining, I try to duck under something if possible. Absolutely. Tip you hat to a lady. Finally, Duane, you can chase a rabbit anytime. Your point about ladies was well said. Men simply can’t do what women do. Agreed. I don’t open doors for ladies because I think they are weak. I think they're treasures, and endeavor to treat ladies with respect. I hope you're having a good day in God's great outdoors. Happy trails!
I appreciate honoring conversation, deeply
You are so right about women! Thanks!
This is the second of your podcasts I've watched. I appreciate the information. I'm a retired trucker.
These videos are always very informative on their respective subjects, but listening to a storyteller like you talk about how to be a gentleman is what really feeds my soul.
Always be Humble and Kind is what i try and live by daily. i sure enjoy your videos please keep them coming. God's Speed my friend
You're great Dewayne.
Thanks for your skills. Keep ‘em coming.
Agree whole heartedly about women. Thank you.
Amen brother!
Got an old white Bailey, 22years. It so comfortable. Sweat stains, lining is gone,sweat band is gone. It has more caricature than a lot of people I know.
I
I just got into Cowboy fast draw and it looks like everybody thats into it wears a hat ,a cowboy hat , so now I'm shopping for a hat , so glad I found this guy, telling me things I need to know . I subscribed ,I really like this dude ,he seems to be a really great guy.
Good info. & I’d bet most folks agree with treating ladies with respect. Thank you
35 years and 20+ Hats later, I’m finally having a hat built/made for myself...thank you sir, I love listening to your stories of lessons learned in life. Hope you make a stop in Arizona and or Texas soon
hat condom is for your summer straw hat.
when dining out, you knee works a treat for your hat and it's under the table and protected..
always just used a brush on my hats to get the worst of the dust off. (didn't have no plastic sponges back then.)
good video!!!
Again, outstanding, Sir.
Damn, Man. You are so right on.
It’s a shame more people in this world don’t have your views, great video as always keep the coming
Stumbled across your channel, and glad I did. I'm born and raised in the NW, but have always felt like I was supposed to live in Texas, and it's for all the things you talk about. In my 20's my job had Texas as part of my territory, and the Texans I had the privilege of working with were some of the nicest people you'd ever want to know. I hope I get to live there someday, I think you do it right!
You are right on the mark that a hat becomes the man and each hat is unique to the owner. I had a hat that had been given to me by my brother before he passed and it took me few years but I made the had my own. Well needless to say someone stole it right off my head and I did not get it back. great video.
I take my hat off indoors, but I can see your point in restaurants. I have not worn a cowboy hat regularly for years, but I noticed that I tip my hat to ladies only when wearing a cowboy hat. Great video!
I totally agree! Well said!
just what the dr ordered ! Absolutely true ! Keep up the great work
At 70, this is the only channel I’ve subscribed to. Great work, I agree with almost everything I’ve seen in your videos.
I have a hard time throwing away old cowboy hats. I just counted 8 sitting around, all 4X Beaver Stetsons, and I know one of my favorites was several years old when I was on a pack trip in Canada on 9-11. They were mostly bought used but barely worn from classifieds or eBay from folks who bought them for a party, wore them once or twice to line dance in, then auctioned. The straw hats were easy to throw out when they wear out since I don't really like them to begin with, but the felt hats just seem to hang around.
Loved this. I ride english and own one western hat I wear while riding trails, mainly to keep rain from blinding me. It's not much of a hat and ill cared for so didn't think I'd utilize your wisdom. But...like all your videos this enveloped the topic as well as your philosophies on life. Years ago my shoeing instructor said "treat a lady like a lady and she'll be a lady." Same could be said for fellas being gentlemen. Being in a male dominated line of work I enjoy the respect we give each other as professionals. If you can be anything, be kind. Goes both ways. I'll always appreciate a door being held for me and the tip of a hat. Your ability to articulate is a treasure too.
My favorite leather work hat is 20 years old. Lots of miles on it. Actually a very important piece of gear to discuss. 👍🤠
Thanks for the information. Appreciated.
Good addition to your previous video take it easy
I was taught at a young age what you are saying and you are right. Hats are for everyday liven.
Another great video from another great man!!!
AMEN SIR!
All i can say is AMEN. Thank you.
Love your moral standards, here, here, hats off to you, you earned my respect
From a guy who "just wears the clothes," and doesn't do much in the way of field work anymore, many thanks for your videos. It's great to learn from someone who is the real deal!
I really like the way you think! I wish more people understood what real respect is. I also wish I could get you to shape my hat.
If you have time, I’d love to see a series on cowboy boots. Selection, care, and your personal experience with footwear. Much obliged.
Lots of good points made.
Something my uncle taught me was in mixed company (women and men together), and no place for your hat. It was permissible to set your hat on your knee when seated, and either in your hand or on your head while standing. And my aunt had no problem reminding us of that if we had forgotten.
Really good wisdom shared here. And yes, us practical ladies still very much enjoy a genuine gentleman (personal opinion). I would love to see a video about how a lady of the western lifestyle can fit in. And some etiquette of a lady in this life style as Well. Great video as usual.
Thanks again... Yes indeed, women are treasures and should be treated accordingly
I like the way this guy thinks!
Brother, I just found you channel and I love it. I like your attitude and your outlook on life. I only have ever had two hats at any time. One reed hat for summer and a felt hat for winter. I will wear my hats until they are worn completely out. I take care of them, because like a tool, they take care of me so I take care of them. Myself, I like longer brims with just a short curl on the ends. It keeps the sun out of my eyes and neck better. Like others here, just like a utility cover, if you are indoors (except a hangar bay) you take off your hat. And you always tip your hat to a woman as a sign of respect, even if they yell at you for it. I also have had extremely good luck with a 10X beaver. I’m only on my 3rd felt for my lifetime. Any way, I’m glad I found your channel.
Great advice. Love the channel
Duane, I have only recently started watching your channel. I really love the content and your manner of presentation. I am an Alabama man who doesn't ride, but I have worn cowboy hats nearly all of my life. My dad always wore a hat and the habit moved to me when I was young. I didn't want a fedora, so I went the cowboy way. In my view, a man needs a hat, especially in sun or rain. I have quite a number of them and enjoy the pride of ownership and the individuality they offer. Again, thank you for your efforts and sharing.
Well said sir.
Thanks again for making these videos!
I reckoned I tuned in just at the right time! I was going to order a couple hat covers thru Amazon. Thx for saving me a few bucks!
All I have to say is AMEN!
Great watch and listen. Both 1 and 2. How could I not subscribe. Many thanks. Mighty fine indeed.
Thank you.
Thank you thank you
All well said. True. ❤️
I appreciate someone who believes in respect for themselves and others, I open the door for my Wife, Mother or any other Lady around me. I’ve gotten some reall appreciation and some strange looks but no matter it makes me feel good to do it.
I took a liking to the Australian leather hats.
I do change the round top to a pinch front.
Its heavy but stays in place well. But it doesn't get grabbed as much by brush and thorns.
Just Common Dog. The young ones need it. Women are the most valued treasures on this earth, I held my Mother to that regard and all other women. With out the wonderful women of this earth we would not exist. Thank you for your time and commentary.
England calling just to let you know, your not talking to your self, many thanks for some good infomation and interesting thoughts. Keep them coming, many thanks
I like the truth that you speak in all your videos!
Thanks for these videos
