Authentically American bone button shirt Born on the American frontier where there was nary a tailor in sight, the signature feature of a solid Western Shirt is the use of snaps rather than buttons. Snaps are far more durable and less prone to be torn off than a sewn on button, especially when you’re, say, ropin’ cattle on the open range. Lucky for the rest of us non-cowboy types, snaps look pretty darn cool too, especially these unique burnt cow bone snaps Flint and Tinder used in this Bone Button Western.
