First Person: The last Pendleton shirt

“As a point of reference, a Pendleton, is a very warm flannel buttoned down collar shirt that comes in many colors, usually plaid. The shirt is the mainstay of a uniform worn by old style Pachucos, Vato Locos, and a few retro Cholo/Homeboys. Street tradition dictates that the shirt, irrespective of weather, is always ironed, creased and worn buttoned to the top no matter what.

Lumberjack and grunge Dudes wear them as well, but seldom compliment the outfit with, Mad dog 64 Sunglasses, a Hairnet, and Stacy Adams shoes.

International social service agency’s have an abiding concern for the Cholos in Fresno, ELA, San Poncho, and the Southwest in general. Health professionals recommend for shirt wearers to drink lots of liquids during the hot summer seasons. “
