As consumers for Western wear aged, looser fit became popular as it forgives and hides heavier builds.The COEVALS CLUB Pearl Snap Shirt is a fashionable and functional addition to any wardrobe. When Western fashion came into being it was mainly popular with young, slim men. While men’s shirts were loose fitting until the advent of Western wear, slim-fitting neck and sleeve sizing was a standard until relaxed fit came into vogue in the late 1980s. Western designers began adopting mainstream fashion elements, and fashion designers pick up Western elements from time to time.įashion is by nature cyclical and so is fit.

Since the Urban Cowboy fad, mainstream fashion has had a big impact on women’s Western shirts. Traditionally, sales of women’s Western shirts are substantially lower than men’s. In fact, matching “his ‘n’ hers” shirts became an important selling point for decades. While women’s shirts were sized for women, they tended to be driven by men’s Western style, often matching men’s designs and fabrics. Women’s shirts, on the other hand, were conventionally form-fit, and women’s Western shirts followed this tradition. It also helped with exports as the previous inch-based sizing measurement is not used by most countries. The S-M-L sizing enabled the manufactures to streamline production and reduce inventory at wholesale and retail levels. Relaxed fit followed with the same S-M-L designation. This type of sizing is still made today but is largely replaced by Small-Medium-Large sizing.

Fitted shirts were made in more than twenty sizes including neck size and sleeve lengths. Neck and sleeve sizing exclusively the standard for more than fifty years. The fit was an important selling point of the Western shirts it characterized the entire shirt. From the practical standpoint of someone who would use them as active wear, the less loose they were, the less likely they were to snag. Western shirts were “form-fit” and flattering to the slim physique. Originally, the fit of the Western shirt was substantially different from conventional men’s shirts, which were boxy and featured Victoria-era removable collars until the 1920s.

In addition we accentuated both the “W” shape of the flaps as well as the patch pockets to render them more impactful. In our SNEUM® range we opted for the diamond snap as we consider it being the right way to present this classic as also championed by Rockmount Ranch Wear Mfg. It can be done either with round snaps or the less common diamond snaps. The sawtooth pocket takes its name from the two points forming a “W”and can be found with either round or diamond snaps. In our Sneum® range of western shirts we have accentuated both the flap and the patch pocket shape making them both pointier to give them more importance in the overall shirt make-up. The single-point pocket, with the point in the center, is the most common type of Western shirt pocket. Flap pockets come in countless styles, and whether it be single-point, sawtooth or slanted flap pockets, can be ascribed to mere aesthetic considerations As the name indicates they are done with a flap that closes over a patch pocket’s opening to prevent things from falling out.
