Inspired by the enduring image of the American longhorn, our Steer Heavyweight Back Graphic Tee pays tribute to a familiar figure in the history of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. For many visitors, the silhouette of a longhorn recalls Abilene, the Museum's beloved mascot from 1967 to 1970. A gentle giant with an eight-foot horn spread, Abilene welcomed generations of guests from his corral on Persimmon Hill and traveled throughout the West representing the Museum. Though this artwork is not intended as a portrait of Abilene himself, it honors the legacy he left behind and the enduring ranching traditions he came to symbolize. Printed on a substantial yet remarkably soft heavyweight tee, this shirt is crafted from 100% ring-spun cotton with a lived-in feel from the very first wear. The garment-dyed finish lends rich color and a naturally weathered character that only improves with time, while a relaxed fit, reinforced shoulder taping, and durable double-needle construction make it a dependable favorite for years to come. A small chest graphic echoes the bold back design, creating a timeless look equally suited to a day at the ranch, a visit to the Museum, or everyday wear. 6.1 oz. heavyweight ring-spun cotton Soft-washed, garment-dyed fabric for a broken-in feel Relaxed unisex fit Rib-knit collar with topstitched finish Twill-taped neck and shoulders for added durability Double-needle stitching at sleeves and hem Minimal shrinkage after washing A tribute to the iconic longhorn and the memory of Abilene, this tee carries a little piece of the National Cowboy home with you.
