Views A, B, and C are traditional 19th century loose-fitting shirts in men's sizes 36-46. All views have a pointed collar, shaped back yoke, long sleeves with shaped cuffs, and a shirt-tail hem. View A is simple to sew, with a slashed front pening which laces up. View B adds a removable button-front bib, designed for protection from steers' horns (or the cold!). View C was worn by firefighters, with a bib shaped to their traditional emblem.
Contemporary Western Shrts such as Views D and E (sized for men and women) are narrower, featuring decorative yokes. Both finish with "smile" pockets and piping trim. View D has a designer's original Bull's-head yoke and decorative sleeve placket. View E has a simple curved yoke.
