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.
