In the 1930s, Western movies, rodeos, and country music popularized jeans, cowboy hats, and western shirts worldwide cementing them as symbols of rugged independence.
Strait continues to live the ranching lifestyle, owning and managing his own cattle ranch in Texas. His ranch work isn't just for show - he actively participates in ranching operations, further reinforcing his image as a genuine cowboy.
