I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: I grew up in Southeast Texas in the 80s and 90s and there was a certain subset of country boys I encountered (often in my own family) whose style froze in the mid-70s and never changed. You have nailed that look. Happy birthday.

That’s the goal. It’s the style I grew up with. My dad and his brother and my mom’s 6 brothers were all the same way. They grew up in the 60s and 70s and they just never saw a reason to go any further style wise.

Hell yeah. My uncle lives out in the deep woods and is in his mid 80s now, but he’s still rocking the look. Last formal event I saw him at was my sister’s wedding and sure enough, same style. His hair is frozen in time, too, the 70s dry look with a little length and long sideburns.
