The wrangler stuff is pretty classic, and some of their newer retro style shirts look great. Their sizing is weird and doesn't work for me, unfortunately (or fortunately...for my bank account at least) an xl is too small but an xxl is waaay too big for me. I guess I need to either eat less or a whole lot more.

Thank you sir, I agree with you but my perspective may be biased

I can wear an XL & I look for both. But since I wear it most unbuttoned as a cover shirt/jacket I know the XXL will fit over anything & not look baggie.

Manuel was the son-in-law of Nudie Cohn. He's the man who made Elvis's jumpsuits and who convinced Johnny Cash to start dressing in all black. He also made all those killer jackets Dwight Yoakum wore. He had his own line of off the shelf western wear back in the mid - late 90s. Those shirts ran about $400 back then.

I expect they'd be crazy money to buy or have custom made, but I'd love to have a pair of boots matching these:
These Acme boots are the same pattern and colourway as the ones worn by Meatloaf as Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Eddie started off as a Teddy boy in the original London production, but when the show went to The Roxy in LA for its first run in 1974, the decision was made to transform him into an American style greaser, in the belief that the Teddy Boy look wouldn't carry, culturally speaking. This bled over into the film costumes when they hit the set in Autumn 1974. MeatLoaf, then still several years pre-Bat out of Hell, had played the dual roles of Eddie & Doctor Scott in the Roxy; for the film, original London narrator Jonathan Adams was drafted in to be Scotty (or should I say.... Doctor VON Scott? et cetera), so Meatloaf's appearance in the film is limited to the three, glorious minutes of Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul. One of the best standalone numbers in the entire picture / show, but I digress.... For whatever reason (variously explained over the years as being much easier to dance in than engineer boots, Meatloaf's own Texan background, and what was available as cheaply as possible given the miniscule budget the film was cut to when the creatives insisted on using their own, stage- derived players ahead of the studio wanting to cast a Bowie or a Jagger in the leads), the screen take on Eddie ended up in cowboy boots. And some looneys (including me) have had half an eye out for an identical pair ever since the DVD first came available in 2000, allowing us a clear look at stills of the boots in detail.

I’m not a necktie guy but if I was I’d have to have this 2007 Limited Edition Rockmount.

I meant to thank you for sharing this one, I ended up buying it and luckily it fits! Will post some pics once it cools down a wee bit more, a little tight in the shoulders but I’m making it work.
