I wouldn’t bet my bottom dollar on whether it was Christian Bale in “3:10 to Yuma” or Brad Pitt in “The Assassination of Jesse James” who triggered it, but lately I do see a mighty inclination towards Western gear. ‘Dressing Western’ had always symbolized the American culture around the world, and the trend is making a comeback.

I was pleasantly surprised to come across AJ’s Western Wear Outfitters which is offering authentic western wear, western shirts for gents, ladies and the youngens. If you’re a hombre who prefers the traditional look, the company offers the plaid shirt, which can be multi-functional and no doubt grab every lady’s attention. And as everybody knows, a self-respectin’ cowboy should be seen in a custom embroidered shirt — which WesternShirts.com offers in a number of designs, sizes and colors. Point to note: Take advantage of their free branding service and have your cowboy shirt branded with a high stitch count embroidery of your monogram, nickname, group affiliation, and where you want it… you name it, dude, it’s your custom shirt! And if you have a particular design in mind, you can always check out their design catalog.

You’ll also find a sweet staggering range of Rodeo & Sport Western shirts, as well as fancy prints and vintage and Retro Western shirts, should you decide to prep up the “studdler” in you.

The 21st century cowgirls can rope in some superbly embroidered Western shirts, again customizable with any kind of lettering. The women’s shirts range extends to stylish short sleeves and comfortable long sleeves. Matter of fact, I feel the women have a fanastic range of Western wear to choose from, while men’s are kinda limited to shirts and outer wear. For instance, apart from shirts, sleepwear and outer wear, women can choose acquire a ‘posh’ Western look with some of the sexy Rhine-Swarovski belts and handbags, wallets and cellphone cases.

Upon browsing through the whole ‘kit and caboodle’ on the site, guess what inpressed me the most? Their meticulous attention to detail — for sizes (neck, chest and arm) and customization of imprints. Besides the lettering, you get to choose the font (Western style fonts, of course), the color, the location and the flexibility of pricing.

WesternShirts.com is more than just Western shirts. It has all the promise of becoming the ultimate choice for anything Western, but the signal is clear–WesternShirts will soon have much more to offer the dress connoisseur.
