Southwestern Embroidered Denim Shirt | Youth Sz. 8 | c. 1970s
Details
A rare 1970s Wrangler chambray shirt made for youth, featuring vivid, full-back embroidery in a stylized desert landscape. Two teepees frame a blazing orange sun, while a figure dances atop a mesa with a winding red trail. Cacti in punchy pink and acid green dot the scene, all stitched with confident, saturated threads. On the front, twin chest pockets are embroidered with crossed arrows and a stylized sun motif — each detail playful yet deliberate.
The fabric is a lightweight denim weave — soft with age but still holding its structure. Classic pointed collar, buttoned cuffs, and deep curved hems add to the authentic Western silhouette. Wranglers’ rare “fire horse” tag is sewn at the neck — a psychedelic-era graphic that dates this piece firmly to the early-to-mid 1970s. The craftsmanship and condition make it not just wearable, but collectible.
Ideal for lovers of vintage Westernwear, children's Americana, or anyone drawn to hand-embroidered narrative garments. This shirt brings with it the spirit of the desert, a hint of ceremony, and all the magic of a well-preserved childhood piece.
