The first ever pearl snap western shirt was made in 1879 by Halibeesus Lang, who had an Apothecary in Tomagachi, TX. After first inventing the reversible ink-well, he set his mind to haberdashery, hoping to design a shirt that could quickly transition to barechested in those brutal Texas summers. Inspired by the linking flesh-armor of the lovely armadillo, he created an entire new category in the work-wear milieu that doubles as dancin' duds. He might have been better remembered if he hadn't died suddenly in a line-dancing accident, with no next of kin to lay claim to his ingenious, 1,000 dollar idea (hey, man, that was like, a lotta money back then), and he was slowly wiped from the history books by a shadowy polyester conspiracy plot, but the heritage of his fantastical and brilliant efforts are alive and well with Richter Goods. This shirt licked my hide in every barfight I've ever been in. Have you ever seen a man break his fingers on a shirt? I have... these pearl snap are like brass knuckles. Halibeesus would be proud! (p.s. the cords are righteous and textural. people stop me all the time to touch my shirt, and most of them aren't even creeps...)

Salado Summer Woven in Turquoise Feathered Southwestern Awesome print and good fit!
I even went to a gas station and I'm sure I scared him half to death. But he couldn't keep his eyes off of this jacket. I'd buy a million more.
I am blown away each time I order a shirt from Richter. These shirts fit me perfectly and I can't get enough of them. This shirt is special. The fabric takes me to a special place in my memory with my grandpa. Thanks Richter for nailing this vintage material and western, yet modern design.
The cut of this shirt is perfect. It is the right shape to allow it to be worn untucked or tucked. The fabric is incredibly soft and the buttons are a fantastic design detail.
In addition to the shirt being amazing, customer service is excellent as well. The first shirt I ordered for my husband was too large. Once we confirmed the replacement size I ordered fit, I was directed to simply return the shirt that didn't fit for a refund.
Additionally, once the size was confirmed I was able to place a larger order for Christmas. I wasn't able to get the promotional pricing shown in the email but a simple e-mail informing customer service of my trouble resulted in them adjusting the final price of the order.
My husband is going to adore his clothes and I look forward to continuing to buy great products that are made of natural fibers in a sustainable way.
