Tuesday Reality check

Here's a nice modern trendy take on a classic. Made by Roper and available through AJ's Western. It does have a fair bit of scrolly decoration- that's the trendy bit- but it's quiet enough to work with the design.

Crossed pistols are a fairly common design choice, and when done right, they're a good thing. Here's a somewhat similar design from Ellie Monster. This one is inspired by mounted shooting and has some cowgirls shootin' on the front with those crossed pistols on the back. It's fun too.

Good retailer: AJ's Western Wear

AJ's Western Wear. "Because Authenticity Never Loses Its Attraction"- damn right!

They get a little douchey in the tee shirt collections, but I'm willing to overlook that. They have a good selection of modern western shirts and lots of sweet retro ones too. Most of their western jewelry is western (a few painful options there, but not many). All around, a pretty good store. Go check 'em out. And if you like them on Facebook, you get 10% off an order.
