You may be wondering: "Why do those cowboys look so durn sharp in their Wranglers?" Well, it's usually because they know how to make Texas Starched Jeans. First of all, they buy their Wranglers extra long so that they still look good when astride a big ole quarter horse. The extra length stacks over their boots when they're on the ground. Roper boots work best for stacking. These jeans have a whitened crease and stay looking fresh on the rodeo circuit. They last longer and repel dust and dirt when working with livestock. Here's my own recipe for Texas Starched Jeans:

• Get a box of powdered starch at the store
• While jeans are in the washer, mix about 1/4 cup (or more) starch with a cup of cold water
• Add starch mixture to a pan of boiling water and stir until clear
• Pour pan of starch into the last rinse cycle, but not directly onto jeans
• Iron creases into jeans while still wet
• Hang outside to dry
