Indigo Rinse Denim Two-Pocket Western Shirt

This is a two-pocket Western shirt in rinsed indigo denim. It takes the working shirt of the American West and finishes it with single-needle stitching and mother of pearl buttons. The cloth is a stone washed denim chosen to soften and fade with years of wear. It keeps the shaped yokes, flapped chest pockets and two-button cuffs of the classic pattern, and suits informal wear with jeans or work trousers.

Portuguese Navy Brushed Chambray

We chose a dark navy brushed chambray from Portugal because it is the closest to the original's deep indigo cotton among the cloths on offer, with comparable substance. We set the Western front, Western pockets and Western yoke, a two-button cuff, a shallow curved hem and mother of pearl buttons to follow the original's details. Proper Cloth has no long, rigid Western collar, so we used its soft point collar. In place of stone washed denim the brushed finish gives a soft hand from the start.

The cloth is a 100% cotton chambray woven in Portugal from 20s single-ply yarns. It is structured and fairly heavy, and brushed to a soft, slightly napped surface that feels close to flannel. It is a solid dark navy and wears as a warm shirt for cooler weather.
