Any quality designers making clothing or shoes that isn't necessarily RAB but could be worn as such? I'm just looking for ideas to put together a look.
This was the one point that always drove me a bit nuts, how RAB guys were so reluctant to wear anything modern, even if the stylistic details were spot on.
Band of Outsiders has 2 shirt-jacs (one is red gingham, one is white w/blue stripe) that is a very authentic repro of a 50s shirt
Western shirts have never changed style so you can't go wrong with a modern western. The one thing vintage ones have over modern is the elaborate embroidery and the awesome rayon gabardine fabric w/MoP snap buttons. But the problem with wearing a nice vintage western it's easy to look like you're part of a rodeo troupe.
It's one of those looks where you could even put together a RAB vibe with just APC, esp if you happen to have a pompadour. The haircut suddenly makes EVERYTHING look rockabilly.
