Every single western movie ever made

[CrankItUp!]

Has always showed cowboys and ranchers wearing strictly long sleeve shirts - ALWAYS - no matter how scorching hot it is out in the desert or where ever else. You never have or will see a cowboy/western movie with them wearing short sleeve shirts - no matter what. Think about it. (lb)

kinda like how you see black people wearing oversized seatsuits in the middle of the summer

Maybe they didn't want to get sunburned.

i try to wear long sleeves and long trousers in the summer.
but i suppose summer isn't hot at all here.

maybe they had to hide their digital watches

I guess its the same reason that cowboys dont wear shorts instead of pants either - cause it simply wouldn't look right.

I never thought of that before.

Jasper Carrot has a good gag where in Western films the main street is never full of horse and buffalo shit.
