1970s/1980s Western Shirt

🌟 70s/80s Rodeo Flair 🌟

Here’s a real honky-tonk treasure, a bold-striped western shirt that screams Saturday-night dancehall just as much as it does dusty rodeo grounds. Made in the USA back in the late 70s or early 80s, this beauty originally belonged to a real Canadian cowboy—we got it straight from his daughter, so you know it’s carryin’ stories of long rides and long nights.

🤠 Ely Cattleman Heritage

Though the brand tag is missing, the WPL code points directly to Ely Cattleman, a legendary western brand that’s been turning out shirts since 1878. Known for its flashy yokes, bold prints, and rugged builds, Ely Cattleman rode the line between rodeo wear and Saturday-night fashion, bringing cowboy style into honky-tonks and dancehalls all across North America. By the 70s and 80s, Ely was in full stride—loud stripes, sawtooth pockets, and big collars ruled the day, making their shirts iconic in the westernwear world.

🔩 RAU Klikit Snaps

The shirt is equipped with RAU Klikit snaps, some of the finest hardware there ever was for shirts. Unlike regular snaps, Klikits are famous for their durability and satisfying “click”—cowboys and ranchers alike swore by ‘em because they held firm no matter how rough the ride. You’ll see these snaps on top-notch western wear from the golden era, a sure sign of quality.
