Behind the Scenes: The Creative Process of NorthPoint's Cowboy Graphic Tee


Howdy, partner! If y’all loved our Panther Graphic Tee, you’re gonna be chompin’ at the bit for this one. Saddle up as we take you on a wild ride through the creative process behind our latest apparel sensation: the Cowboy Graphic Tee. This design’s got spurs, sass, and all the fixin’s to rope in anyone with a love for western flair. Grab your cowboy hat and hold tight—we’re about to hit the dusty trail!


Step 1: Kickin’ Up Dust in the Brainstorm

Just like any good rodeo, we had to start by wrangling some big ideas. When we first sat down to chat about the Cowboy Graphic Tee, it was all about capturing that down-home, rough-and-tumble western spirit. We threw around ideas like tumbleweeds—everything from country cowboys to horses, desert cacti, American flags, beer, whiskey (ok now I just sound like I’ m describing every country song ever…). We wanted this tee to be more than just a shirt; it had to be a statement, a nod to the grit and determination of the cowboy way of life.


Once the ideas started rollin’, we knew we had a winner with a classic cowboy silhouette. Picture it: a lone rider, hat tipped low, reins in hand, and dust flyin’ under a blazing western sky. Yeehaw!



Step 1: Picking the Right Rodeo Duds

You can’t just throw any ol’ shirt on and call it a day. Nope, this Cowboy Tee needed to feel like it’s been around the ranch a few times but still polished enough to wear out on the town. After rustlin’ through different fabrics and fits, we settled on a heavy duty, but lived-in cotton blend. It’s got that perfect balance of rugged durability and comfort that feels like your favorite shirt from day one. And the colors? We went with a classic crisp cotton white to allow the bold, warm colors of the design to really stand out.




Step 3: Roping in the Design

Next up was turning our big idea into somethin’ folks would want to wear from sunup to sundown. Our design team, inspired by old western film posters and the spirit of the open range, went to work on bringing that cowboy silhouette to life. We played with different angles, added in some rough distressed texture to get a lived-in look, and incorporated subtle elements like stars and a sheriff’s badge on the front left chest. Just enough to say, “This here’s a NorthPoint original.”



Step 4: Branding Extras to Spur Excitement

Once we had the design nailed down, it was time to think about all the little touches that make NorthPoint stand out. We decided to lasso in a few extras, like a custom hang tag with a QR code leading to a special behind-the-scenes video of our creative process, as well as a custom polymailer to match the western theme of the giveaway. When customers claim this tee, they’re not just gettin’ a shirt—they’re gettin’ a whole western experience!


Step 5: Printing and Production…The Final Stretch

When it came time to print, we stuck with our tried-and-true method: high-quality screen printing for that soft, vintage feel. Our production crew, aka the best dang team this side of the Mississippi, made sure every tee came out lookin’ as sharp as a cactus needle. Once the tees were done, we packed ‘em up with care, ready to hit the road and land in the hands of folks lookin’ to add a little western swagger to their wardrobe.

Step 6: Wrappin’ It Up

At the end of the day, our Cowboy Graphic Tee is more than just a nod to the wild west. It’s about the spirit of adventure, the freedom of the open road, and the pride in wearin’ somethin’ that feels as timeless as a well-worn saddle. From brainstormin’ to printing, we poured our hearts into this tee—and we reckon you’ll feel that same cowboy spirit every time you throw it on.


So, what’re y’all waitin’ for? Giddy up and grab yours today—this one’s sure to be a hot ticket, hotter than a tin roof in July!
