✨ Features & Flair

• Authentic gabardine fabric – a tough, tightly woven twill that was the Cadillac of cowboy shirts back in the day. Originally popularized in the 19th century, gabardine was prized for being durable, breathable, and holding its shape. Ranchers and rodeo stars alike wore it for style and grit.

• Chainstitch embroidery: That rich, looping threadwork is an art form, done with vintage machines that give a raised, rope-like feel.

• Western scalloped pocket details, white piping, and pearl snap buttons.

• Made in Canada by Square Dance Designs, a label known for lively, hard-to-find western shirts made for the booming dancehall and rodeo circuit scene.
