Sometimes you don't want to go full-on cowgirl costume in Montana, we get it –– but you still want to feel part of the West and nod to Montana's western style. Or you're in the streets of New York or Los Angeles and you want to add a little reminder of Montana and the West to your look. No matter what reasons you have to get more western with you look, we want to use the classic shirt and jeans look as a foundation.
To us, here at Intrigue Ink, we're always thinking of that balance between full western and urban styles: for some of you a bandita or group of cowgirls comic-strip style drawing on a graphic tee might give you just enough western when paired with a vintage pair of jeans and a great jean jacket -- maybe a pair of Converse or cute clogs to complete the look. Others might want to adventure and add some additional western accessories to complete the look like a statement belt, a Cowgirl Camp hat and a western-inspired bandana.
When we create a new tee shirt or apparel, we're inspired by the stories of the Wild West with its bold, charismatic characters, the aesthetic of the western fashion with its tailored denim jackets, fringe details, embroidered shirts, and cowboy boots, and, of course, the beauty of our Treasured State of Montana.
Whether you want a simple touch of western or you love to accessorize a little more, we want to share with you how a classic shirt and jeans look can be used as a foundation to help you achieve that western look you've been looking for all your life.

2) The Vintage Boots Collection
Vintage boots are a quintessential element of western fashion so, of course, we're always keeping cowgirl boots in mind when designing for our apparel! This is our newest cowgirl-boots-inspired Collection and it's already one of our bestsellers!

4) Ride or Die Collection
This cowgirl isn't like the others: she is stronger than most, she rides a bison! The bison is her companion, that has her back, her ride or die! Pair this distressed graphic tee with a corduroy shirt or pants. Add a boho hat, to match the drawing! Complete the outfit with a western-inspired belt or a bandana.
