Named after its iconic bib front, this remains pivotal in the history of western wear. Also referred to as the fireman or cavalry shirt as its diffusion happened in the wake of the American civil war and the push in westward migration.
Hollywood’s Golden Age Westerns truly popularized the bib shirt. John Wayne wore bib shirts in numerous films, including 1939’s Stagecoach, 1947’s Angel and the Badman, 1948’s Red River and 1956’s The Searchers.
Our take on this icon is done in a soft drapy black Tencel using contrasting white snap buttons from Scovill® as it accentuates a V-shaped silhouette. Front placket buttons are concealed for a more clean look.
The customized collar tips are removable.
