Also,

Work shirt if your workwear says: "I'm the salt of the earth. I grew up somewhere in an industrial Midwestern town. I rake leaves, fix cars, earn an honest living, and like to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles."

Western shirt if your workwear says: "I potentially sell cocaine."

In fact, if you like black corduroy so much, just wait a little while for the banger about to drop from our fav homies.

Hmmm. My workwear probably just says "I dress like a dude that is the salt of the earth and sometimes maybe sell cocaine, but obviously I am just a middle-aged poser with no such background or intentions." But then again, most of us guys on SF kinda falls into that category. Minus the middle-aged part.

I guess peacoat falls into the milsurp/work shirt category?

Ok if you're like me (sleazy/cocaine-chic) but not in a workwear fit. Maybe full cords and more discrete buttons? I love pretty much every non-dress workwear or military inspired shirt in principle. Watched american gigolo recently and some of those dress shirt both with military pockets might be easier to integrate (kinda Lemaire style I guess).

Get the western dude. So many brands have so many workshirts...the western is special and interesting and unique. I'm not saying the workshirts isn't, but also maybe it isn't.
