Description
From the Envelope Back
Here are five (count ’em—5!) shirts worn then and now by cowboys and other western characters, with modern versions also sized for women. Views A, B, and C are traditional 19th-century loose-fitting shirts, in men’s sizes 36 to 46. All views have a pointed collar, shaped back yoke, long sleeves with shaped cuffs, and a shirt-tail hem. View A is simple to sew, with a slashed front opening that laces up. View B adds a removable button-front bib, designed for protection from steers’ horns (or the cold!). View C was worn by firefighters, with a bib shaped in their traditional emblem. Contemporary western shirts such as Views D and E (sized for men and women) are narrower, featuring decorative yokes. Both finish with “smile” pockets and piping trim. View D has a designer’s original bull’s-head yoke and decorative sleeve placket. View E has a simple curved yoke.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 3 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
