1980s Western Shirt

Plaid Thunder From Westerner 🌩️

Now here’s a shirt that don’t just walk into the saloon—it storms in. This bold red, yellow, and navy plaid Westerner western shirt is cut in that classic pearl snap style, big ‘n roomy for a fella who likes his shirts with a little extra breathing space. The label says “Westerner by BBI – Big Man”, but truth be told, the trail behind ol’ BBI is as mysterious as a coyote’s howl at midnight. Some say it was a small import label, others reckon it came outta Hong Kong’s boom years—either way, it’s a piece of western shirt history that looks right at home in the honky-tonk.

Details That Shine ✨

• Snappy pearl snap buttons down the front and cuffs (no fiddlin’ with tiny plastic buttons here, friend).

• Double chest pockets with diagonal flap cut—ready for your lucky poker chip or a train ticket outta Dodge.

• Bright, loud plaid that hollers louder than a rodeo announcer on Saturday night.

Brand Note 📜

The Westerner name ain’t tied to the giants like Wrangler or Lee, but that’s part of the charm. It was one of those hard-working labels churnin’ out flashy western wear for the boom of the 1970s–80s, when country music and cowboy gear were struttin’ proud far beyond the ranch.
