No man’s wardrobe of summer style essentials is complete without the right T-shirt. As the thermostat rises ever higher, it might be the only item you feel most comfortable wearing, be that underneath a lightweight cotton blazer or styled beneath an open camp-collar shirt.
And of course, I’ve found just the source to sort out your T-shirt rotation for the rest of summer: That’d be Filson, one of the most experienced menswear outfitters on the market, whether or not you’ve spent any time exploring the Pacific Northwest.
As you might expect (and as I’ve found over the years), the Filson Pioneer Pocket T-Shirt gets plenty right when it comes to the best T-shirts for men, regardless of where your summer takes you. For starters, this stylish men’s T-shirt is made in the U.S.A. — how’s that for extra attention to detail?
It’s got durable, classic construction and style written all over it (not literally, but you get the idea), and that’s a great starting point as you look to bolster your wardrobe of casual menswear essentials. Let’s take a deeper dive, yes?
As with any rough-and-tumble Filson product, the Filson Pioneer Pocket T-Shirt delivers in terms of fabric: It’s made from a midweight cotton jersey fabric for a sturdy handfeel made to be worn on its own or perhaps layered under your favorite Filson shirt.
The rib-knit collar on the Filson Pioneer Pocket T-Shirt should also hold its shape over time, rather than fraying or bunching up.
In fact, it’s the small details like that — along with the reinforced chest pocket — that make the Filson Pioneer Pocket T-Shirt worth the higher price tag (it clocks in at $60). That chest pocket also gives it some visual interest, so you can wear it with everything from Filson blue jeans to a pair of Filson adventure shorts any day of the week (and especially on a laidback summer weekend).
A pocket T-shirt is so much more than just a pocket T-shirt in the very capable hands of Filson, and it’s certainly not a stretch to say that the Filson Pioneer Pocket T-Shirt is going to be the best T-shirt you wear all summer.
