pearl snaps

Cowboy shirt closures

Pearl snaps are decorative snap fasteners with a pearly or iridescent cap, used instead of buttons on Western-style shirts.

They're a defining feature of the cowboy shirt aesthetic: He wore a classic pearl snap tucked into his Wranglers.

The snaps allow the shirt to pull open dramatically—useful for quick changes or rodeo flair.
