1970s Western Shirt

Step back into the bold style of the 1970s with this vintage BJ-R western shirt. The eye-catching red and green plaid is pure retro flair, balanced by classic western features: pointed shoulder yokes, flap chest pockets, and pearl snap buttons. The contrast-cut placket and pocket flaps add extra punch, giving this shirt plenty of personality.

Style & Features

This shirt carries that unmistakable seventies western vibe—bright colors, sharp lines, and just enough flash to stand out at a dancehall or on the ranch. The cotton fabric feels sturdy but broken in, making it as wearable today as when it first hit the shelves decades ago. Snap closures down the front and cuffs keep it authentic and practical.

About the Brand

BJ-R isn’t as widely documented as some of the big western makers, but shirts from the brand show up among collectors of vintage cowboy wear. Their designs from the 1970s leaned into the era’s love of bold plaid, often paired with traditional western tailoring. This one is a perfect example of that mix—retro color with ranch-ready style.

Condition

The shirt is in great vintage condition, with strong colors and no major flaws. It’s a fine piece for anyone who appreciates the crossover between western tradition and 1970s fashion flair.
