1970s US-Made "Wooly" Western Shirt

"This shirt may not have a lasso, but it sure knows how to wrangle attention."

Straight outta the mid-century Western wardrobe comes this Champion Westerns classic in a rich rust and brown plaid—the kind of color combo that makes you feel like you’re watching the sun set over a dusty canyon. With pearl snap buttons, western yokes, and enough vintage soul to sing backup on a Marty Robbins record, this shirt rides tall in the saddle.

Now let’s talk fabric: the tag reads “Permanent Press”, which means this cowboy likely ain’t pure wool. More likely it’s a wool-blend or not wool at all, but a polyester-based fabric designed to resist wrinkles and keep you lookin’ sharp without an iron in sight. That may sound mighty modern, but back in the day, this was high-tech cowboy gear.

What You’re Getting:

• Classic Western yokes front and back – for that ranch-hand silhouette

• Rich rust & brown plaid – warm, bold, and pure vintage charm

• Pearl snaps – smoother than a slow dance in a dusty bar

• “Permanent Press” fabric – no-iron, no-fuss, ready to roll

• Very good condition – no signs of rough ridin’, just a well-kept piece of Western history

A Note on the Brand:

Champion Westerns might not be a household name today, but they were churning out classic cowboy threads back in the 1970s or so. While there ain’t much info out there on the company itself, their shirts show up in vintage circles with enough consistency to prove they knew their way around a snap-front.
