First Day City: The First Day of Issue postmark was from Abilene, Texas, but there was no First Day of Issue Ceremony held.
About the Western Wear set: Issued to celebrate clothing and accessories that have become symbolic of the American West. Includes four stamps picturing Western attire: a cowboy hat, boot with spur, shirt, and belt buckle. Each stamp also includes elements commonly associated with the American West such as cacti, snakes, roses, and stars. Original artwork by Ryan Feerer.
History the stamp represents: Western shirts come in a wide range of colors and designs. They may be made of denim, flannel, cotton, linen, and more. Some are plain while others have a plaid pattern or intricate embroidery accents. Fancier shirts may feature rhinestones or glitter and may be worn with a classic western bolo tie.
There are several possible origins of the modern western shirt. One early influence was US Cavalry shirts worn by soldiers during the Civil War. These shirts were made of blue wool and included yellow piping and brass buttons. It is said this design was created by George Armstrong Custer. From there, Papa Jack Wilde added snap buttons as the shirt closure and pocket flaps in 1946. Shortly after, the shirts were adopted by Hollywood for silver screen cowboys like Roy Rogers, Clayton Moore, and John Wayne.
From then on, a number of country music stars began wearing western shirts during their performances. Even Elvis Presley was inspired by western styles in the early days of his career. Working cowboys generally wore simpler shirts while on the job, but when it was time to go out on the town, they would adopt the fancier designs. After all, no woman can resist a sharp-dressed cowboy!
