cowboy shirt

Rodeo rider's top

A cowboy shirt is a Western-style button-up shirt with distinctive features: a yoked back, snap buttons instead of standard ones, pointed flap pockets, and often decorative piping or embroidery.

The snap closures supposedly let a rider tear free if snagged.

Also called a Western shirt.
