Without his cowboy hat, Strait often goes unrecognized in public. He can dine in restaurants unnoticed - as long as he doesn't flash his signature crooked, dazzling smile.

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.

Strait married his high school sweetheart, Norma, in 1971. Together they had two children, George Jr. and Jenifer.

Jenifer died in an automobile accident at the young age of 13. The Strait family was very private in their grieving. It is speculated that George's 1988 hit song, "Baby Blue," is about his late daughter, Jenifer. George's shirt is baby blue as a tribute to his daughter.

George Strait's belt buckle is more than just an accessory, it symbolizes a passion for team roping that he shares with his son. As a longtime supporter of rodeo culture, Strait and his son, George Jr., competed together and co-founded the George Strait Team Roping classic in 1982.

Belt buckles in the rodeo scene are often awarded as trophies, signifying skill and accomplishment.

The western style shirt was inspired by Mexican vaquero embroidery and Native American beadwork. Western fashion is a cultural melting pot of the America West, a blend of Mexican, Native American, and cowboy culture.
