We wanted to transform the vintage western shirts of the past into something technical and wearable in everyday life while maintaining a little of their quirky nature and penchant for unique, embroidered artwork. We succeeded in a big way by making ours out of lightweight, quick drying cotton-poly blend and adding a cooling mesh-lined vented back yoke to keep it cool when the temperatures are cooking. We threw in pleated chest pockets, pearl snaps, and an ever-evolving slate of custom embroidery.
