What Makes a Cowboy?

It Ain’t About the Boots or the Hat

When you think of a cowboy, what comes to mind? Is it the rugged boots, the wide-brimmed hat, or the spurs that jingle as they walk? Sure, those are iconic symbols, but being a cowboy is about so much more than what you wear. It’s about grit, courage, and loyalty. It’s about living by a code, standing tall in the face of challenges, and riding for the brand—whether that "brand" is your family, your community, or your dreams.

At Double R Western™, we believe the cowboy spirit is alive and well in all of us. It’s not confined to the ranch or the open plains. It’s in the way we face life’s hardships with resilience, keep our word when it matters most, and stay true to who we are.


The Cowboy Code: A Legacy of Values

The cowboy way of life has always been about more than just survival—it’s about thriving with integrity. The cowboy code, passed down through generations, teaches us to:

  • Live each day with courage.
  • Take pride in your work.
  • Keep your promises, no matter what.
  • Stay loyal to your brand, your family, and your community.

These values are timeless. Whether you’re running a ranch, building a business, or simply navigating the ups and downs of life, the cowboy spirit is a guide for living boldly and authentically.


Double R Western™: Riding for the Brand

At Double R Western™, we’re proud to embody these values in everything we do. From our western-inspired designs to our partnerships with Native American communities, we’re committed to honoring the cowboy way of life.
