The shirt will evolve depending on specific milestones for the fair, Texas, or America.
What they’re saying:
The shirt is bringing a new partnership with Cavender’s to life.
“Nothing says Texas more than Big Tex and Cavender’s. Pair that with his pearl snap shirt, how can it be any more Texas than that! Big Tex’s shirt is featuring our signature Rafter C angled pearl snap pocket. It’s a match made in heaven! We are proud to be a part of such a great tradition,” said Clay Cavender.
