Our desire to make the Gaucho Snapshirt is one of the reasons we started Howler Brothers in the first place. We wanted to transform the vintage western shirts of the past into something technical and wearable in everyday life while maintaining a little of their quirky nature and penchant for unique, embroidered artwork. We succeeded in a big way by making ours out of lightweight, quick drying blended fabric and adding a cooling mesh-lined vented back yoke to keep it cool when the temperatures are cooking. We threw in pleated chest pockets, pearl snaps, and an ever-evolving slate of custom embroidery.

HOLD FAST TO THE MAIN MAST MUTATION

Sailors are a superstitious bunch. Back in the day, many believed rooster and pig tattoos could keep them afloat if disaster struck mid voyage. No guarantees here, but the Howler Mutations Laboratory believed this lore enough to bring an entire mutation built around those legendary good luck charms to shore. Anchors, ropework, vintage map graphics and a healthy dose of maritime folklore run throughout this sea-faring gear. Don’t wait! Come all ye sailors and drifters and hold fast to the main mast!
