1970s Embroidered Western Shirt

🌵 Pure Honky-Tonk Royalty

Now we're talking serious vintage Western wear. This original 1970s H Bar C Ranchwear Western Shirt was made in the USA and comes dressed in dusty blue with a dramatic dark contrast yoke, elaborate floral embroidery and decorative stitching throughout. Add those sweeping Western Smile pockets and pearl snaps, and you've got one mighty handsome piece of cowboy history.

The shirt is in fine vintage condition, although there are a few stains and marks visible in the photos. They may improve with careful cleaning, but we have deliberately left the shirt unwashed. With vintage garments featuring intricate embroidery and decorative details like these, we'd rather leave the cleaning decisions to the next owner than risk damaging something that's already made it through roughly half a century. 🤠

🐎 H Bar C – A Western Wear Icon

H Bar C is one of the great historic names of American Western wear. Founded in 1897, the company became especially famous for its highly decorated Western shirts, combining classic cowboy construction with elaborate embroidery, piping, contrasting yokes and distinctive pocket designs.

Over the decades, H Bar C clothing became closely associated with the glamorous side of Western style – the world of rodeos, country music, Hollywood cowboys and the increasingly flamboyant stage wear of the mid-20th century. Original American-made H Bar C pieces remain highly sought after by vintage Western wear collectors, and shirts like this one show exactly why. 🌵
