The Tarp

Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from about 8' at the head to 6' at the foot and is offered in two lengths to better fit your needs. We think this size tarp is the sweet spot for the solo camper.

  • Tapered shape uses space efficiently
  • Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch
  • Recycled fabric option
  • Silpoly won't sag when the temperature drops
  • Lower water retention than silnylon
  • Reflective tie-outs
  • Great for partnering with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.
Tie-outs

Perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2). There are hang loops located at each end of the ridge (2), the middle of the ridge (1), and about 14" in on the ridge from each end (2) (18" on the 10' tarp).

There is an additional tie-out on the ridge about 14" in from the narrow end (18" on the 10' tarp) to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out. We recommend using a fastline clip (included in the optional rigging kit). Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.

Note that the color of the UltraGrid reinforcements may vary from what's shown.

Seam Sealing

You'll need to seam seal the ridgeline of this tarp prior to use as per these instructions (or use our service).

    • Tie a knot in the untied end of each guyline. We use a simple overhand knot.

A very comfortable shirt at a good price!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
Comes out very soft once washed! I ordered this shirt when I saw it and was curious how stiff the material was. I was expecting something a bit more coarse since it was western wear, but was pleasantly surprised to find that once washed it became very soft. The shirt is also very light and airy, and allows the breeze through to cool you off. I was also impressed with the quality of the shirt. All the stitching is tight and neat, and there were no threads hanging loose to catch on anything. As far as sizing goes, it was exactly what they recommended based on measurements, and it fits great. The cut of the shirt is pretty nice also with a bit of a taper, and it looks really good on (according to my wife, anyway). The shirt is versatile enough to wear out to dinner at the steakhouse, or to work in the yard. Bottom line: The shirt is comfortable, fits well, is good for work or going out, and a great deal for the money!

Looked amazing… but not built for broader shoulders
Size: Small, Color: Blue, Size: Small, Color: Blue
I got this for my husband because he’s fully leaning into his cowboy era lately (new boots, new attitude, the whole thing), and I thought this shirt would seal the deal. First impression—honestly impressed. The color is really nice and the embroidery detail looks great in person. It doesn’t feel cheap at all and definitely looks more high-end than expected. For reference, he’s about 5’6”, 140 lbs with an athletic build. The shirt almost worked—it fit well through the body and could be fully buttoned, but the shoulders were just too tight. As soon as he moved his arms, it felt restrictive, like the seams were being pushed to their limit. Which is a shame… because wow, he looked GOOD in this. And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t usually love this style. I’d say this shirt runs better for slimmer or narrower builds. If you’ve got broader shoulders or any upper body muscle, you may want to size up or skip this one. Overall, great quality and style, just not the right fit for an athletic frame.

A Western Shirt That Works as Hard as It Looks
Size: Medium, Color: Blue
A Western Shirt That Works as Hard as It Looks This men's western shirt strikes a really solid balance between style and everyday wearability. The cotton-polyester blend fabric keeps things soft and breathable without feeling too heavy, and the exquisite floral embroidery on the turn down collar adds a level of detail that makes it look far more elevated than a basic button down. Whether you're heading to a country concert, a western-themed party, or just pairing it with jeans and cowboy boots on a casual day out, it fits the moment without trying too hard. The versatility here is genuinely one of the stronger selling points. It works just as well at a rodeo or western-themed wedding as it does for everyday casual wear, and the timeless embroidered design means it won't feel dated after a season. Care is simple with machine or hand wash and hang to dry, so it's low maintenance for something that looks this put together. It also makes a thoughtful and practical gift for a husband, boyfriend, or father who appreciates a little western flair in their wardrobe. Just make sure to check the size chart carefully before ordering since sizing can vary with this style of shirt.

Well Made
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
When my husband put this shirt on, the women comment him on how he looks. I have to admit "He looks great in this attractive western shirt." The blue is a nice blue. He bought a black one, too and it is also very well made and nice looking. The sizing was perfect. It is wrinkle resistance, a great fabric thickness and comfortable. Definitely would buy him another if these ever wear out. It is a great value for the money.

Great Quality - Son loves it!
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this beautiful Western shirt for my son for Christmas. He loves it so much he wears it once a week. The quality is excellent. The fabric is relatively thick, but not too thick - a nice, sturdy fabric. The embroidery is absolutely beautiful! It looks even better in person. The large fit him true to size, like all his other size large men's button up shirts. There are no loose threads or flaws in the stitching. It looks and feels expensive - well worth every penny of the $40 price. It has held up well in the wash. There has been no fading or shrinking. It is now March and it has been washed once a week since Christmas. (Please note - I don't put it in the dryer. I hang it to dry.) I highly recommend if you are looking for a fancy Western shirt.
