Smile Pocket Western Shirt

Here’s a shirt with a wink of western mischief — a vintage Roper western shirt complete with those signature smile pockets that curve like a cowboy’s grin. With pointed western yokes front and back, pearl snap buttons, and a rugged check pattern, this one’s built for long nights at the dancehall or laid-back days in denim.

Style & Features

The plaid fabric carries a worn-in softness, perfect for everyday wear but sharp enough to hold its own on stage or at a rodeo. The smile pockets are trimmed with stitching that draws the eye, setting this shirt apart from the standard checkered button-up. The backside includes floral embroidery on the shoulders. Pearl snaps finish the cuffs and placket, giving that satisfying snap every true western shirt should have.

Condition

This piece is in fine vintage condition, with plenty of character and no major flaws. The colors pop, the snaps snap, and the western charm is all intact.
