The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt Is Your New Favorite Fall Buttondown

Most rugged shirt for men.

If there’s one thing I can’t get enough of, it’s the chance to truly layer up in rugged style as we roll into early fall (and well beyond). Any great wardrobe of men’s style essentials should be well-prepared in advance for what lies ahead, including the brisk breezes and crisp, crunching of leaves of fall — and the call of seasonal adventure, naturally.

There are certain pieces I tend to rely on in these situations, and I’ve recently found a new one to add to my roster. Or rather, a new (old) piece: The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt is a fan favorite, and a sttylish men’s shirt restocked in time for a new season, with all the rugged appeal a guy could ever want.

If you’ve perused the blog over the years (or even as recently as this week!), then you know Flint and Tinder covers all the right bases: Versatile, well-made menswear crafted from durable-yet-supple fabrics, with the potential to work as well for an evening of brewery beers as a day at the office.

That goes for its henleys, waxed trucker jackets and the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, naturally. The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt toes the same line: Polished yet rugged, visually appealing, made to be worn again and again.

The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt gets the basics right, including the use of 100 percent cotton denim in washes like a richly faded Medium Dark Wash, as well as crisp Black and a classic Stonewash denim. The burnt cow bone snaps are an authentic touch, as is the Western detailing throughout.

I’ve found the Medium Dark Wash edition of the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt to be an ideal fit in a size XL, too. It’s comfortable enough to button up on its own, easygoing enough to wear open over one of my favorite T-shirts, and sharp enough to wear with the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or else casual grey denim.

It’s an optimal headliner for any casually rugged fall #OOTD, with hundreds of positive reviews that justify dropping $158 on a Western shirt. Who knows — it could very quickly become your new favorite fall shirt.
