All hat and no cattle

This is a saying (and I can't for the life of me find the origins) that means that someone is all talk and no action/substance. Someone who dresses nicely but doesn't really have any money.

Joe says he makes a lot of money and wants to buy my business, but after checking his credit references I've found that he's all hat and no cattle.
