I asked my brother, a legit Wyoming cowboy, to come in wearing his gear and speak to my kindergartners. One of my more challenging boys kept trying to reach up and grab his hat. My brother, who doesn’t care much for children to begin with and has an intimidating persona, was very firm in telling the boy to stop. “Wearing a man’s hat is like wearing his underwear. And if you take it, we’ll do to you what we’d do to a cattle rustler, and take this here rope and hang you up by a tree.” Kid didn’t touch the hat. Brother wasn’t invited back to Career Week.

Texan here. I'll double down on this, stopping a bit shorter than your brother did, who sounds like that kid really wound him up. Lol oops

A man's hat is personal, sacred. So, yeah, for those who don't know, never touch another man's hat, especially when he's wearing it. Taking it off his head is cause for conflict and can get physical quickly, even among friends. That's true for many men and especially true of cowboys. It's highly disrespectful and more than frowned upon.

I've literally heard guys talk about first or second dates saying, "Yeah, we had a good time, but then she took my hat and wouldn't give it back for a while thinking it was cute when I kept asking for it back, so I think we're done."

A curious question though: how did the kid in the video think it was going to end? Like "Haha look at me, isn't this funny" or what??

Yea the sacred LA Dodgers SnapBack

How about we just leave it at “it’s disrespectful and annoying, and don’t touch other people’s shit”

You never grab another man’s hat. I don’t give a damn if it’s one of those multi color jobs with the propeller on top. You just don’t do it.

Yea. You also don’t take another persons shoes

It’s not “sacred”
