Common enough here that I don't hear anyone comment about it. But, there are cattle trailers running around here, also.
I'd say that in St. Louis, it would be different.

I think some of the looks that Rock Hudson wore in the movie "Giant" is the prototype for this look.

I was doing some research this morning and found this photo of Luis Ortega, one of the great California vaqueros and horse gear makers. It was taken in the 1930's and I have always thought he shows great style in his suit, hat and the way he wears it all.

I work in St. Louis, and can't tell ya the last time I saw anyone in a suit with boots. My college roommate was from Sikeston, MO, and wore boots EVERYWHERE, but even he had Sebago loafers for dressing up.
There is a place in the employee handbook where I work that makes reference to boots and "western style suits" as being a no-no...so no boots and no scallops on suit coats.

I've been wearing my Justin Ropers a lot lately, for some odd reason. I don't wear suits, just jeans & a nice shirt. They are really comfortable, they take a shine really well, and are just the right amount of panache.

Hi
I work in aerospace and one of our USAF customers (then a Major) wore black low heel cowboy boots with his class A blues. He said that they were more comfortable, and since he only wore black ones it didn't show very much. He at least made Light Colonel before I lost track of him.
Personally, I think that your outfit should match. Jeans and boots, with most shirts looks o.k. Pin stripes and wing tips, cowboy boots and a western suit. I can't imagine brown cowboy boots with three piece pin-stripe suits, even though I own both. Of course, I also don't like taco pizza, not because of the taste, but "It's just WRONG."
