@GraemeE that was absolutely irritating to scroll through on a small screen. seeing the collar, then seeing your hand - total confusion until i read the caption!

@tody that's an expected reaction
Not a lot of mini western shirts for 2 year olds get posted around here

Dropped in on our Eagles market. It was pretty slow going because of the weather but I found a few gems. Most excited about these double-knee Keys. The real deal here, from an Oregon logger (I’m getting the matching suspenders next week). Not sure what I’ll sew up from the waterproof orange camo fabric, but for $3 I had to have it.

@Inorganic those keys are dope

Key makes a great beater hickory shirt too

[GraemeE]

@wjw yes they do

Im also a big fan of their saddle king sub brand stuff

[wjw]

@GraemeE didn't know saddle king existed. I'll have to check it out

[GraemeE]

@wjw ive got a handful of the flannel westerns as well as couple of the denim jackets

[wjw]

@GraemeE is it all secondhand or do they still make saddle king?

[GraemeE]

@wjw I dont think its around anymore but they pop up at thrift stores and are plentiful on ebay for reasonable prices

@GraemeE Saddle King is a great brand name for western wear. I dig those old names. About a decade ago I picked up a wool lined leather vest from a vendor who was a cowboy in Montana in the 60s, its of the Pioneer Wear brand. That name (especially whilst wearing it) always make me think of classic Americana and of a freedom/expansiveness of 'merica that (likely) isn't around anymore...

Damn, what did they put in the coffee at work this morning....
