Description: This cachet features the Cowboy Shirt, from the Western Wear stamp issued by the USPS in Abilene, TX 79601. This is the fifth in a series of five cachets. The look of Western shirts has varied widely, spanning from functional to ornamental and ultrafashionable. The Western-style yoke — the extra panel of fabric sewn up and over the shoulder, connecting the front and back of the shirt for warmth and protection — is one of the most recognizable elements of Western shirts. Beginning in the 1930s, rodeo tailors designed highly elaborate custom shirts for their clientele, who were often film and music stars. They replaced sew-through buttons with round or diamond-shaped pearl snap fasteners, an innovation that became standard. Throughout the 20th century, the Western shirt was modified to reflect fashion trends more than any other element of Western wear. Thanks for looking!!
