A spokeswoman for Gap said, “The collection in America has evolved to become a bit more directional and fashion forward,” the spokeswoman said. “With economic conditions difficult it makes sense to leverage that rather than duplicate [collections].”

Patrick Robinson’s designs and a small team of designers based in New York will focus on Gap’s European collections.

I don’t like western wear but that’s not what this is about. Rockmount shirts have been worn by everyone from Elvis Presley in “Love Me Tender” to Heath Ledger in “Brokeback Mountain.”  The founder, Jack Weil was born in Evansville, Ind., and came to Denver in 1928. And here’s what’s so fascinating. Mr. Weil is 107 years old. At 107, he still goes to work every day and is the oldest CEO in the world.

Rockmount has kept its headquarters in the same brick building where it all began in 1946 on Wazee Street in Denver’s Lower Downtown. Belts, cowboy hats, colorful ties and the ever-popular shirts adorn the first floor. When Mr. Weil celebrated his 100th birthday, city officials changed the name of Wazee Street to Jack A. Weil Way.
