Vintage Western Graphic Tees
Here at PET RODEO we make apparel for animal lovers: people who know that life is just better with a couple of dogs and cats (and maybe some chickens or a bunny, too)! We're lifelong animal lovers ourselves, and we know what animal lovers want:
- super soft, comfortable clothes that you could nap with your cat in, but are durable enough to stand up to wash after wash
- original style and graphics that celebrate animals and all the joy they bring to our lives
- graphic tees that remind us of our own pets and why we love them
- a company that gives back to help animals in a real and meaningful way
That's exactly what we're building here: a charitable apparel brand that makes the comfiest clothes for animal lovers, and donates all profits to nonprofit veterinary clinics so more pets get the medical care they need.
Our signature style is a mix of vintage-style and western style graphic tees. All our graphics tell a story, and our stories are all about life with animals, and growing up in small town Texas. I (Amy) grew up shopping in thrift stores and wearing all the western styles: hand tooled leather belts with my name on the back, cowboy boots, denim skirts with lace at the bottom. Some of my favorite memories are of my little baby brother wearing his spurs on his boots to church on Sundays and seeing everyone turn around when he walked in, clinking those spurs with every step.
A lot of our vintage western graphic tees are rooted in memories like those, but are designed to celebrate animals, because animals were my first true love... and still are.
One of the vintage western graphics I'm most proud of is our Be Kind tee, with a message of kindness for all animals. It's designed just like that hand tooled leather name belt I wore every day when I was six... but with our tee, no animals were harmed in making it.
Our best selling Extra Spicy Chihuahua tee might not look western, but I designed it based on vintage menus and print ads from my favorite Tex Mex restaurants I loved as a kid out in West Texas. It is such a nostalgic design for me, and it just reminds me of eating sopapillas with extra cinnamon.
We hope you find some vintage western graphic tees and styles you love here at PET RODEO. We make each one with love and with a goal of bringing a smile to the face of every animal lover. But the heart of our brand and our reason for being here is to raise funds to help our nonprofit veterinary care partners provide care for more pets, and to help more families afford care for their beloved pet family members. It's all for the love of animals, and we're truly grateful for every purchase!
Thanks, ya'll!
Love, Amy
