At times, I feel as if my wardrobe of menswear essentials is all sorted out, in perfect order and up for just about anything. And at other times, there’s a little something to be said for going out on a limb and picking up a refreshed take on a menswear classic — a little something extra, so to speak, like a fresh, durable Western shirt that updates the timeless style.

And since the best Western shirts for men seem to be all the rage right now, the time might be just right to pick up a new spin on an old favorite from the good folks at Buck Mason.

Somewhere between the heavier, fall-ready appeal of the chambray shirt and the polished style of the classic Oxford shirt lies the lightweight fabric and supremely cool designed of the Buck Mason Palomino Western Shirt, potentially your new favorite summer shirt — seriously. You see, this retooled take on the Western shirt gets all the basics right, and then some, and it does so using a springweight blend of cotton and wool, as Buck Mason notes.

Don’t let the use of wool fool you, though: It gives the shirt helpful shape, weight and structure without overdoing it: The Buck Mason Palomino Western Shirt seems to be the type of rugged Western shirt that’s neither too lightweight nor too burly: It’s just right, and just what the doctor ordered when it comes to the best shirts for men.

Timeless details like pearl snaps, a chest and back yoke and pointed flap pockets drive home the point that this a classic shirt with modern heritage, as fitting a combination as any to switch things up from a polo shirt or an Oxford shirt this summer. Better still is the fact that the Buck Mason Palomino Western Shirt comes in a range of handsome, distinct Ombre plaid colorways — another twist on an old standby from a brand that has deep respect for Americana heritage.

The Buck Mason Palomino Western Shirt is the sort of shirt that acts as a reliable change of pace when you need it the most: Consider swapping in this stylish Western shirt in place of an Oxford shirt atop rust-hued chinos, and perhaps consider pairing the Buck Mason Palomino Western Shirt with black jeans or even olive five-pocket pants.

At $168, the Buck Mason Palomino Western Shirt is an investment in the world of shirting, one with quality sewn into every stitch, though. What else might you expect from Buck Mason, though?
