1970s vintage men's western shirt by Malco Modes of San Francisco, made in the USA. This striking shirt features a vivid bright red color, classic pearl snap closures, and distinctive western tailoring throughout.
The shirt has a particularly great vintage western silhouette, with a long pointed collar, pointed western shoulder yokes on the front, a dramatic V-shaped western yoke across the back, and two large flap chest pockets with pearl snaps. The long sleeves feature four pearl snaps at each cuff, adding another great period detail.
The bright red color gives this shirt plenty of presence, while the relatively clean, traditional western styling makes it versatile for a cowboy, rodeo, rockabilly, country, vintage Americana, or 1970s-inspired look.
The label reads Malco Modes, San Francisco, Made in U.S.A., and is marked 16½ – 33. Malco Modes was a San Francisco clothing manufacturer that produced western and other American-made clothing during the mid-20th century.
