Vintage 1950s Era Levi Strauss Pearl Snap Western Shirt Unisex Chest Size 40

Step back into the golden era of American Western wear with this authentic vintage Levi Strauss & Co. pearl snap shirt, dating to the late 1950s Era. This shirt features the rare early blue-on-white Levi Strauss & Co. San Francisco, CAL label, a style tag used before Levi’s shifted to the modern “Levi’s” red tab branding on shirts.

Crafted during a period when Levi Strauss was expanding beyond denim into premium Western apparel, this shirt embodies the rugged yet refined style of mid-century America. The size “40” reflects vintage men’s chest sizing (approx. 40-inch chest, modern medium), though the soft drape, feminine color palette, and tailored fit make it a beautiful unisex piece for today’s fashion.

Key features:

• Era: Estimated 1950s, based on tag style and construction

• Tag: Blue “Levi Strauss & Co. – San Francisco, CAL” woven label

• Fabric: Lightweight, breathable cotton with a soft, broken-in feel

This shirt comes from a time when Levi’s Western line was inspired by the cowboy lifestyle but designed to appeal to ranch hands, rodeo riders, and fashion-forward city dwellers alike. Vintage Levi’s shirts from this era—especially with this pre-1971 branding—are highly sought after by collectors and stylists for their quality construction, iconic style, and cultural significance.
