Men’s Shirts
Men’s shirts ranging from western styles in denim and corduroy to classic Oxford button-downs, from workwear flannels to Italian tailored shirts.
The selection includes styles crafted in Oxford cotton, heavyweight flannel, denim, corduroy, poplin, and seersucker. Each garment is chosen for its robust construction, authentic fabrics, and distinctive details such as snap buttons, button-down collars, chest pockets, and reinforced stitching that ensure durability and versatility.
Shirt Types and Distinctive Styles
The category includes western shirts with authentic details, classic Oxford button-down shirts, workwear flannels, sturdy overshirts, and Italian formal shirts.
Western shirts feature snap-button closures, flap chest pockets, reinforced double-layer yokes, and pointed or spread collars. Seven-ounce denim styles offer a resilient structure with dark used and light used washes that add a lived-in character. Corduroy shirts combine a soft texture with functional western construction.
Oxford button-down shirts maintain a dense, regular weave, buttoned collars that secure the points, and a clean silhouette suitable for both formal and smart-casual settings. Flannel shirts are yarn-dyed, often featuring tartan checks or jacquard stripes, and are pre-washed and brushed for enhanced softness. Overshirts made from heavyweight 14 oz canvas function as durable outer layers, with western reinforcements and bar-tack stitching for added strength.
Characteristic Materials and Fabrics
The selection prioritizes 100% cotton in various constructions: Oxford for durability and a refined texture; heavyweight 7 oz flannel for warmth and softness; right-hand twill 7 oz denim for robustness; corduroy for tactile depth; poplin for lightweight formality; seersucker for summer breathability; and heavyweight 14 oz canvas for maximum workwear resistance.
Oxford cotton features a basket weave that ensures breathability while maintaining a structured appearance. Yarn-dyed twisted flannel delivers long-lasting color and rich texture, ideal for colder seasons. Seven-ounce denim balances strength and comfort for everyday wear. Corduroy adds visual dimension and warmth without bulk. Ultra-light poplin provides freshness and a clean formal look, while seersucker’s puckered texture promotes airflow. Fourteen-ounce canvas represents the highest level of durability and resistance.
Construction Details and Fit
Western shirts incorporate pearlized or metallic custom snap buttons, reinforced double-layer shoulder yokes, flap chest pockets, adjustable double-button cuffs, and utility loops beneath the back collar. Oxford button-down shirts feature secured collar points, classic front button closures, and regular fits with balanced proportions.
Flannel shirts offer double and triple-stitched seams for durability, applied chest pockets, custom metal buttons, and reinforced shoulder and back yokes. Overshirts showcase bar-tack stitching at stress points, woven square labels, heavy-duty button closures, and unlined construction for seasonal versatility. Italian formal shirts maintain sartorial details such as precise stitching, structured collars, and refined, tailored fits.
Occasions of Use and Styling
Western shirts are well suited to casual settings, weekends, and American-inspired styling when paired with jeans, chinos, and boots. Oxford button-downs work in business-casual environments, offices, and more polished occasions when combined with tailored trousers, chinos, and blazers. Flannels provide warmth and character for autumn and winter layering with vests, jackets, and denim.
Overshirts function as outer layers in spring and autumn or as mid-layers under heavier outerwear. Italian formal shirts adapt to professional contexts and elegant occasions. The variety of fabrics, colors, and styles allows for the creation of complete wardrobes that cover everyday, professional, and leisure needs while maintaining consistent quality.
This men’s shirt selection brings together American brands such as Iron and Resin and Chesapeake’s for authentic workwear and western heritage, Edwin for Japanese denim and artisanal detailing, Carhartt WIP for robustness and functionality, and Portofiori for Italian tailoring and classic fabrics. Each brand contributes a distinct construction identity: American craftsmanship for durable flannels and western shirts, Japanese precision for premium denim, and Italian tradition for Oxford and formal shirts. The collection addresses casual, smart-casual, and formal needs with a focus on authentic materials and long-lasting construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between western shirts and classic shirts?
Western shirts feature snap-button closures instead of traditional buttons, reinforced double-layer shoulder yokes, pointed flap chest pockets, and often pearlized snaps or embroidery. Rooted in American work and rodeo traditions, they suit casual and heritage-inspired styles. Classic shirts use traditional buttons, sartorial construction, and cleaner lines, making them suitable for formal and business settings.
How should a flannel shirt be washed?
Flannel shirts should be machine washed at moderate temperatures (30–40°C) on a gentle cycle to preserve the brushed softness. Avoid aggressive spinning and high-heat tumble drying, which may cause shrinkage. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended. Factory pre-washing reduces the risk of further shrinkage.
What does a button-down collar mean?
A button-down collar features small buttons that secure the collar points to the shirt, keeping them neatly in place. Originating in polo and later adopted in Oxford shirts, it is a hallmark of preppy and business-casual style, offering a refined yet relaxed appearance with or without a tie.
How should denim shirts be styled?
Denim shirts pair well with chinos, cargo trousers, or jeans in contrasting shades (avoid matching denim tones). They work with leather jackets, bombers, cardigans, and vests. Suitable for casual looks with sneakers or boots, and for smart-casual outfits with deconstructed blazers and loafers. Dark used washes are more versatile, while light used washes feel more casual and summery.
Which shirts are suitable for the office?
Oxford button-down shirts in pure cotton (white, light blue, striped) are ideal for business-casual and office environments. Poplin shirts with spread collars offer greater formality. Easy-care shirts provide practicality while maintaining a polished look. Flannels, western styles, and denim are best avoided in formal contexts.
How do overshirts fit compared to regular shirts?
Overshirts have a looser, more relaxed fit and are made from heavier fabrics (14 oz canvas, robust twills). They function as outer or mid-layers, are longer than standard shirts, and feature structural reinforcements. Regular shirts have a slimmer fit and are designed to be worn tucked in or as a single top layer
