White Linen Two-Pocket Western Shirt
A long-sleeved Western shirt in plain white linen, made in England. It takes the familiar ranch shirt and gives it the house's usual single-needle construction, with pointed yokes across the front and two flapped chest pockets. Linen is the point of it: the cloth is meant to soften, crease and settle with wear, which makes it a shirt for warm weather and relaxed dressing.

Baird McNutt White Irish Linen
We chose a lightweight white plain-weave linen from Baird McNutt, the Irish mill, to match the solid white and the slightly irregular texture of the original. We set a soft point collar, Western front, Western yokes and pockets, edge stitching and mother of pearl buttons to follow the original's details. Proper Cloth offers a square two-button cuff rather than a barrel cuff, so we used that, and its own Western yoke and pocket patterns stand in for the single-point yokes and double-point flaps.
A bright white linen woven and finished by Baird McNutt in Northern Ireland, a mill with roots on the Kellswater River going back to 1798. It is a lightweight plain weave in 26s yarn, soft in hand with the uneven slubs typical of linen, and it creases and softens with wear as linen does.
