How about that vintage western look

I mixed and matched a few different decades to achieve a “vintage” look, I guess. Outside of the wild rag, I’ve dressed this way for a long time when I wasn’t wearing blue polyester and I never gave it a lot of thought until TFL and the fact that eBay is one of the few suppliers left of some of my favorite clothes. I have quite a few pearl snap western shirts and the white/cream label Pendleton HIgh Grade Western Wear shirts are among my favorites. I love the fancy embroidered shirts but they would be closet shirts for me. Out of the 25 or so I have, most are solids with a few plaids thrown in and most of them are subtle. I have looked for years for decent wool gabardine western shirts with Bakelite buttons before Jack Weil came out with the pearl snap shirt in 1946 but every one of them I’ve bought has been a disappointment.

Anyway, 60’s Pendleton shirt, current production Wild Rag, TL’s from the 60’s, Nutria Quality from ? and a custom made ranger belt I had commissioned along with a brown one a couple of years ago with a Zuni lapis, channel inlay ranger buckle.

I was inspired by your red Pendleton and looked and sourced a similar Pendleton. My new shirt is in a hue that I can easily wear.

Thanks for all the inspiring posts folks.

Cheers, Eric -

Great looking shirt, Eric. Another vintage brand I keep an eye out for is the Jack Frost line from Utah Woolen mills. They put out some early western styles before snap buttons. I’ve had two come through my hands that turned out to be too small. They made some great ones in wool gabardine with Bakelite buttons I keep looking for.

Sunday’s best or maybe Saturday nights leftovers.

The clothes looks great Greg, but you look a bit dehydrated.

Thanks, Bob. Took awhile but somebody finally got around to saying it.

Hollywood boots from the late 40’s; Stetson ‘Arminto’. This model shows up in the Miller- Stockman catalogues some time before these boots appeared on the scene, though this one is likely late 60’s.; Let ‘er Buck silk scarf from Japan, likely post war. I have a half dozen or so of these scarfs and most are very sheer silk and this one is quite heavy and thick with texture and embroidery. These things were sold as souvenirs at rodeos, originating with the Pendleton Round Up. Artist/cartoonist Wallace Smith created the original drawing and sold it to The Roundup for $250 who had the image copyrighted in 1925.; Contemporary Colorado Native American made Sterling ranger buckle set on a bridle leather belt. No makers mark on the buckle set.

You're killing me, Cuz. Got me awestruck and inspired with those boots and duds.

Woodstock, the Prequel. I'd like to have my pick in the parking lot!

Wow!

Yeah. That's some hat, ain't it?

How about that saddle! Don't see many like that any more.

The guy looks pretty skinny. But he'd need to be on that wood. Looks to be like a 14"- seat. High cantle (5"+), oxbows and swell fork? It would sure be a sticky one! Check out the shoes and spats. Wonder how sitting that one was for 14 hrs?
