This post is mostly for me to remember when I buy used Western shirts online.
Roper: Classic western look, high quality, excellent fit, no stretch, sturdy buttons, with long torso.
Wrangler Retro: Very high quality with super strong buttons, forming fitting, with a tiny bit of stretch, long torso. Retro line has more of a flair than the classic Western.
Ariat: High quality stitch and fabric, with a tiny bit of stretch, but buttons not as strong as Roper. Their fitted line is quite tight in the shoulders, long torso like Roper and Wrangler. Bit of showy flair, like a Western you would wear to the fair.
Old Navy Perfect Fit: Thinner fabric with good stretch, long torso but not as long as Roper or Ariat. A great summer western shirt. Strurdy buttons (like Roper) but not as strong as Wrangler. I love this line.
Lucky: Smaller fit, average length torso, shorter sleeves, weaker buttons, no stretch. Not my favorite. Consider going up a size.
Panhandle: Fun designs, little bit of stretch, fit is a little tight in the shoulders (but not as tight as Ariat), short torso, like a citified Western.
Tommy: A short torso Western shirt fit for the city. The snap button (strong buttons) I got was flannel and thick (good for fall) and the button up floral was thin cotton (good for summer).
Cumberland Outfitters: Strong construction, no stretch, good fit, long torso, no top button, sturdy buttons.
Izod: Fun designs, thin fabric, weak buttons. Good for summer but constantly tucking in while working.
