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...)
