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...)
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.
This shirt is definitely a head turner, I received so many compliments! It is extremely comfortable and fits like a glove. The small details that go in to making the shirt show how much they care about putting out only the highest quality products with the best fabrics out there! The best part is it is locally hand sewn in San Antonio! The clay colored snap buttons are a nice addition to the shirt!
The absolute highest quality and most comfortable shirt you will ever wear! You can see in the small details the time and effort put into making such a high quality shirt and the flannel material is the softest and warmest you won’t want to take it off. It will definitely move to the front of my shirt rotation in my closet!
Let's talk about soft. Not the best thing on the streets, but on your back? Have you ever worn a latex bodysuit made out of a cirrus cloud? What if I told you that you could be buried in your eternal resting place in a snuggie. The soft I am talking about might end any future world wars, might make world peace irrelevant, might reduce the eons long history of human struggle and evolution into one single cuddle puddle, until we simply evaporated into the increasingly fuzzy connective tissue of that single sensation--soft. That's what this shirt is. It takes a hard man to know it. So you have my permission. Treat yourself...

Amazing shirt. First item I’ve purchased for Richter, won’t be the last.
I was so excited to find stylish, quality and locally made men's short sleeve western shirts after my husband expressed a desire for some. I ordered 2 shirts, four months ahead of his birthday, while they were available (I noted that many styles indicated "Sold Out" on their website). I put a note on my order, indicating my timeline as well as expressing my concern regarding his 6'2" height, questioning whether they would be long enough. I received a nice email offering to add 2" to their "standard" length, since these shirts are "made to order" anyway. I replied, thankful for this offer and noted that I had measured some of this existing shirts to be 29-30" long. I received another reply saying that 2" addition should turn out perfect for him. I was told that they would go into production in 2-3 weeks. When I received the 2 shirts they only measured 27" long. I sent an email questioning what happened that they weren't made to my order and never received any response. Since his birthday is still 2 months away, well past any return policy accommodation, I'm definitely anxious as to whether this will be the birthday gift that he was hoping for.
beautiful shirt, extremely well made
Absolutely beautiful and incredibly well made pearl snap shirts! Beyond quality and an amazing company to work with! Thank you Richter!
Fit was too small the first time, but my fault. Richter replaced it with next size up. No issues. Replacement fits fine.
Another instant favorite shirt for me from Richter. Fabric is really high quality and has a nice depth to it. The cut is perfect for me, and the sewing is really well done.
It’s Great , Made in Texas🇨🇱, lightweight, Great Design.

Thrilled with this purchase, instant classic shirt & amazing customer service
Already familiar with Richters quality but this shirt just blows me away both in fit and fabric. The overall quality is just outstanding.
When I wear this shirt, I am absolutely certain I could fistfight a small to mid-sized black bear, of the sort they have roaming native in the Western mountain land of our lovely Texas. This has yet to result in any sort of personal injury, mostly because I look so good in this shirt, I can't seem to get out of the city to test the theory. What I end up wrestling, mostly, is cougars, and Central Texas, as you know is famous for them, especially the honky tonks. Don't worry, I always let them win. That way we all win. Don't blame the player, blame the shirt...
This shirt is killer. The material is crunchy. I’m looking forward to breaking this in. I’m peeping the beige.
A great addition to my Richter shirt collection. Rayon means it's a lightweight comfortable wear, although the fit is verging on being a little more than athletic. Looks great with shorts and love having the pocket for the shades. Lots of compliments.
Best quality shirt I’ve ever purchased. I was nervous about buying online because it was more expensive than I was used to, but now I think it was worth it. I’ll be coming back in the future.
I purchased this shirt, as well as a different one, for my son-in-law. The style and cut are sharp and set apart from most shits . The color is fabulous. The weight is perfect for hot Texas summers yet can easily transition to fall with a sweater. These additions to his wardrobe are giving him head turns and notice. I’m very happy with my purchase as is he!
Not the couture, but just an all around feeling of wellness that happens when you put on this shirt. It is a midweight thickness, soft as the velvet of your grandmother's mustache, and it has a similar comforting effect of nostalgia... the worksmanship is also top notch. Get this shirt, and I promise your credit rating will go up at least a hundred points.
