See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Western Shirt is a Rugged-Meets-Refined Update

Todd Snyder men's Western shirt.

As I scour the market for the best menswear essentials, I tend to turn regularly to reliable designers and brands I can trust (like Todd Snyder), and then I look for the unexpected. Pieces that are classic and versatile, with a rugged appeal — like one of the best men’s denim shirts, for instance — and pieces that are also done in ways that are slightly different than the rest.

Take the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt, for instance. Like, say, the Todd Snyder Lambswool Sweater, it’s the famed designer’s own take on a certified classic, done in ways only the award-winning designer can do.

In the case of this handsome denim shirt, it starts with premium 100 percent cotton denim from Albini, makers of fine fabric overseas since the 1870s. It’s also available in a handsome Medium Blue, but the deep, inky blue indigo of this style is my personal favorite.

From there, the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt (which is made in Portugal) uses a classic Western shirt cut, complete with iconic details like contrast golden stitching, a front yoke stitching design and pearl snap buttons.

Yet, it’s the use of that soft yet durable Italian denim fabric that gives it a more refined look and feel, although that denim should surely get better with age, whether layered up over your favorite henley or worn on its own underneath a classic shawl cardigan.

And since it’s Todd Snyder, I can say you should rest easy knowing that the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt is made to last and worth the extra cash above other more typical denim shirts. It’s more casual than Todd Snyder Oxford shirts or dress shirts, but your wardrobe needs rugged-meets-refined options, and the Todd Snyder Denim Western Shirt certainly fits the bill nicely this season.

The Friday Read: The Best Harrington Jackets, A New Buck Mason Shirt and Spring Activewear

Best new Filson gear for spring.

My friends, join me in another edition of the Friday Read as we step into spring in rugged fashion — not unlike that Filson jacket shown above, and not unlike the well-curated New Arrivals section at Filson. From waxed outerwear to lightweight shirts and hard-wearing henleys and T-shirts, I’m sure you’ll find the best new menswear that you need for the season ahead, all thanks to the venerable Pacific Northwest gear outfitter. I’ve definitely got my eye on some new style moves for spring, as crucial a time as any to make sure you’re ready for, well, anything from — from breezy spring days to sports bar beer sipping as you watch March Madness this weekend.

My agenda this weekend mixes both work and play, as I’ll be writing more menswear and gear stories for SPY.com (be sure to check out my byline!), not to mention taking in some long-awaited college basketball action featuring my alma mater, Michigan State! It really doesn’t get any better than that — be sure to follow me on Instagram to keep track of all the fun (and all of my writing work, too!). In the meantime, get into the spirit of the weekend (it’s still St. Patrick’s Day weekend technically, right?) with my picks for the best style reads and sales of the week.

Rugged Western shirt for men.
  • Here’s a great way to start your weekend — by picking up a rugged new Western shirt from Buck Mason, of course. The ideal Western shirt — like the one shown above — is light enough to be worn on its own, yet durable enough to style with one of your favorite T-shirts, and it looks great with black jeans, tan chinos or even olive joggers. Get yours from Buck Mason now.
  • Alright, here’s a standout sale for all your budget-conscious shoppers (guilty as charged). The good folks at elevated performance menswear brand AETHER Apparel are running an End of Season Sale now through March 28th. Click through to get up to 60 percent off men’s gear, jackets, shirting, footwear and more — you won’t regret the savings or the style points.

  • Moving on from rugged menswear, spring is a time to get back out into the world with comfort and style in mind. That’s why it was so neat to write all about the best activewear joggers and jackets over at Maxim — these picks are anything but sloppy, my friends. Upgrade your wardrobe ASAP.

I’ll leave you with one last cherished, helpful style read before heading into the weekend. The Harrington jacket has an illustrious history and plenty of utility and heritage to go along with it. It’s one of my favorite styles of jackets, and that’s why it was so cool to write about the history of Harrington jackets over at Fatherly. Layer up in style, my friends! Cheers!
