It’s his own version of that cowboy classic, the embroidered rose shirt, done here in Rialto 4-Ply as a collared cardigan with intarsia blooms on the dark blue shoulder yoke. The yoke and dropped shoulders are bordered by single-rib welts. Note key details that add authenticity: duplicate-stitch arrows and metal snaps sewn under the buttons.
