As we’ve talked about lately here on your favorite men’s style blog, there’s no time like the present to revamp your favorite men’s style essentials ever so slightly as we cruise past summer. So, while you might have mastered the art of laidback summer staples like one of the best linen jackets for men or one of the best pocket T-shirts, it pays off handsomely to have a few tricks up your sleeve.

What kind of menswear tricks? How about one of the best men’s Western shirts, especially one from my friends at Taylor Stitch? That’s the spirit, and it’s an expert change of pace to add some rugged appeal to many a casual look.

While San Francisco’s Taylor Stitch is already well-known for making some of the best men’s Oxford shirts on the market, this Western shirt is more casual, more easy to dress down and just as expertly made. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt, especially in washed denim, checks off a few boxes more than handily, from the throwback Western detailing to its durable design.

In fact, the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt is almost more like a shirt jacket than a classic buttondown shirt, particularly considering its 100 percent organic cotton construction in a medium-weight 6oz. build. It also boasts Western-style snap pockets for rugged, classic appeal, and it’s been washed for a broken-in look and comfort right out of the box.

That holds true whether you layer the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt atop a classic pocket tee or your favorite henley, or style it all on its own with the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants, for instance.

With its durability, devil-may-care style potential and handsome good looks, the Taylor Stitch Western Shirt is cut for just about anything, especially casually cool summer nights around the bonfire. Add to your cart accordingly, folks.
