Actually denim jeans (like Levis, etc.) were developed for farm and industrial wear, and were originally a mud-brown colour. Real cowboys preferred hard wearing wool trousers when mounted as "jeans" were the mark of a sod-buster. Anyone who has ridden more than twenty miles a day, for days on end, will attest to the fact that jeans aren't the most comfortable britches in the world. So, to answer your question: Since any Irish man can be a cowboy, but not every cowboy can be an Irish man, the answer is "NO".
