Produced by Maury Tate's "Mo" Betta by Virginia of Apache, Oklahoma, this 100% cotton Western shirt features a vivid multicolor Southwestern stripe pattern in turquoise, pink, green, purple, blue, orange, black, and white. The shirt has contrasting geometric-trimmed Western yokes, dual pointed button-flap chest pockets, dark buttons with pink thread, long sleeves, button cuffs, and a small "MO BETTA" pocket tag. The maker label reads "MAURY TATES 'MO' BETTA / BY VIRGINIA / BOX 349 / APACHE, OK 73006." Mo Betta shirts are vintage western wear and rodeo button-downs founded by rodeo legend Maury Tate in Apache, Oklahoma, and famously worn by country star Garth Brooks. The shirt presents well with light wear and handling consistent with previous use, including minor loose threads and slight wear around several buttonholes and cuff areas. Colors remain bright and the major seams, buttons, and pockets appear intact. Measurements are 16 1/2 in. at the neck, 36 in. in overall length, and up to 46 in. around the chest. A striking example of Mo Betta Western wear, combining bold late-20th-century rodeo styling with colorful Southwestern-inspired patterning and strong vintage display appeal. BP
