If you’ve spent any time in the Midwest, odds are that you’ve come across at least one giant cowboy sitting on a faux wood fence, waving his hat in a welcoming gesture. Estimated to stand about 12′ tall (if they could stand up straight), these friendly fiberglass cowboys are nearly identical, except for varying colors in their western wear. These iconic statues were the mascots for Western Pancake House, a chain of restaurants founded by Joe Skaggs in the late ’60s. The restaurant’s popularity grew to support 36 locations across Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, and at one point was the fastest growing home-style restaurant in the Midwest. Despite great success, Skaggs decided to retire after a heart attack in 1982, and simply closed his restaurants down and called it a day. This left a lot of folks looking for a place to get a good breakfast, and left a lot of folks wondering for years to come where all these hat waving cowboys came from.

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.

All sizes are provided in inches!
