Bespoke western shirt?

[double00]

i'll add that the overlock finish at the hem is really common , there are a number of merrow-type treatments that are pretty sweet

here's a shop in sf i've seen their work it's legit and they know western

Tony Shirtmakers. Someone earlier also mentioned Viapiana, which I've been curious about https://www.viapiana.ca/store/. Really though, I'm perfectly happy with my Visvim/RRL OTR.

Ben is legit! I now have 2 jeans made and we are working on a custom pattern for fall winter weight Brisbane moss jacket. His western shirts are also great! You have to see his work in person to appreciate what caliber of work Ben does. His IG might be worth glancing at

I will say that heavyweight denim shirts take a while to break in, but once they do :chef’s kiss:

Have you been to Self Edge in NYC? They usually stock several western style shirts and the staff can point you in the right direction depending on your fit. At the very least, you can see how certain designs/pocket styles look on your body. Sometimes pockets are too big/small too close/far apart, etc. I highly recommend you try before you buy.

I second @dieworkwear ’s Stevenson’s Overall Co western shirt recommendation. I have one in corduroy and think it’ll fit you well. The quality is fantastic and details are unique but subtle.

Many good recs in this thread already. I will add the Warehouse 3001 shirt.

There are a lot of nice designs shown with seemingly good fabric.
FOO will not fit Rtw shirts. Maybe the Japanese ones. Viapiana looks like the best choice. He has a double needle chain stitch machine which is the proper finish. My shop can double stitch using heavier thread. But it is not the same..

Have several from RRL, Freenote, and Stevenson. Of these, RRL likely my favorite, but they are a little longer in the body than the Stevenson, so there's that. There may be smaller makers who can work with you on customizing measurements, maybe Imogene and Willie? They actually make a really great version and started out years ago making basically bespoke jeans. Although I don't think they do so anymore, they do make all their stuff domestically, and do offer alterations beyond just hemming, so might be able to alter their existing model enough to fit what you're looking for?

Why get bespoke? Flat Head, Kapital, Bryceland's, and many others make good ones ready to wear. A bespoke Western shirt is probably going to look kinda iGenty.

We are talking about TheFoo here. Nothing should be simple or straightforward, particularly if clothing-related.

Not judging OP, but I agree that working with a French bespoke dress shirt company to make you an American Western denim shirt sounds sort of comical...

Again, we are talking about TheFoo here...

Foo should get one from Anna Matuozzo. Have it made from Riva fabric and get the Western yoke and pockets finished with nubs, like this:

I think that I'd actually pay money to see a Western shirt like that, with nubs.

Really, I'm just reading this thread to see if TheFoo is going to burn some of the denim fabric as a test before he hands it over to Charvet...

I just think sometimes an exacting cut can look nerdy and uptight. Whereas sometimes casual clothes look better when they don't follow CM rules.

This is one of the most obvious points that members of this forum most frequently fail to grasp.

 

[double00]

might as well get 2 shirts made, go for denim, and then open the funbox

Contextually, this is absurd. As one poaster noted, Foo is not readily able to do American RTW. I know you know this, dog. Congratulations: you can fit RTW; Foo cannot.

Would you tell Yao Ming, hey man, you should really get a western shirt RTW because western shirts are not about fussiness, but authentic relaxedness?

With bespoke, you can get an intentionally inexact cut. All that needs to be remembered is that when you go bespoke, it's best to go with the house style/cut, i.e. not swim against the current. Foo is going to have scour the racks in NYC, go Italian/Japanese, or bespoke. There is no Foo walking into a mall in Iowa and finding an acceptable Western Shirt. We are on this odyssey with him, gentlemen, and if you don't like, you can turn around.

On the off chance that your reply wasn't sarcastic: sourcing a Japanese RTW shirt is much easier than going bespoke. And don't even get me started on the pathologically affected idea of "intentionally inexact" bespoke.

Darren Beaman specialized in intentionally inexact bespoke. When he delivered, that is.

get the shirt made to fit and then bespoke wreck your posture for sprezz

The guys at Beams are all on the short side and look amazing in their denim and western-inspired shirts. Pretty sure there are western RTW options available for Foo to try on.



As an aside, I have nothing against bespoke western shirts per se...but if you’re going that route, get some killer embroidery.
