Men’s Style Staple: Chambray & Denim Shirts, Including 20 Starting at $20
👇 LINKS TO ALL SHIRTS BELOW👇
Chambray and denim shirts are versatile, and timeless wardrobe staples, but they’re often confused. Chambray is a lighter plain weave with consistent color, while denim is a heavier twill with a darker exterior. Chambray became popular among laborers in the late 19th century. When choosing a chambray or denim shirt, consider the details: more intricate designs lean toward workwear, while simpler styles, like an OCBD-inspired chambray, are more versatile. Chambray shirts excel in adaptability, pairing well with casual jeans or under blazers for dressier looks.

      Filson is great. My only experience with this brand is with their bags, which are practically indestructible. Good to know their shirts are also well made!

    I have a 12oz Ironheart denim western shirt with tonal stitching and I love it as an over shirt with a thermal beneath worn untucked with khaki chinos. I also have a Tellason chambray work shirt with pocket flaps and that is great tucked or untucked with anything from jeans to olive fatigues. I would like one more shirt in this category in something that is more dressy and would work well with a tie. Considering Spier and Mackay.

    • @PetersPrism
      @PetersPrism День тому

      You've got some amazing shirts. You'll likely be passing that Ironheart shirt to the next generation! Wasn't familiar with Spier and Mackay until now. Very nice selection of denim dress shirts!

    Thanks for this, @PetersPrism! Gave me ideas. I've retired now. Need to downsize wardrobe (further), but i've already disposed of the clothes that don't mean anything to me. What's left all have sentimental value. But there's still too much. For example, i no longer need 7 tuxedo shirts and 23 pairs of jeans now that i'm now home 90% of the time. I'm toying with the idea of "Kawakubo-ing" my "meaningful" clothes, to (hopefully) result in some sort of post-apocalyptic tropical-weight Avante-BoHo aesthetic, thrifted from my own (compressed) closet. But i don't have a visual peg to show my friendly neighborhood tailors. Your video will help. Thank you.

    I've been seeing Fair Isle sweater vests and waistcoats more and more, I think they would look great against a dark chambray shirt in the colder months. My go-to pairing is a bolo tie, a pencil skirt and heeled oxfords

    @ericflorentino6952 3 дні тому

    @PetersPrism thank you for this! I love the look, but about 70% of the year its too hot here in Southeast Asia for any sort of denim shirt, sometimes too hot even for Chambrays (unless one is an office worker). My solution has been tropical-weight linen shirts (or cotton-linen blends) in chambray-ish shades of blue.

    I have the earlier Goodthreads (prior to rebranding as Amazon Essentials) version of that Chambray shirt, and the fabric is lightweight but wears and launders well. That can also be said for the Amazon Essentials OCBDs, which wear and launder well and seem to punch above their price point. Not dress shirt quality, but great for a "retired to the beach house closet" kind of vibe. A pleasant surprise from Amazon.

    I loves clothes. I probably think about clothes too much that it's always on my unsubcontious mind. I prefer clothes that are functional & practical because I live an active life. I am very handy with the sewing machine so I can alternate & change any details I want. It's fun to customise & improve the fit on my clothes or adding extra pockets to hold my phone & wallet.

      @PetersPrism Hi Peter. Like yourself, I have studied design and enjoy working with my hands & makings my own garments. As part of the course, we had to learn to sew. I am passionate about garments construction & manufacturing. I have my own Yuki sewing machine which is an industrial machine that can sew heavy denim. Like any skills, you learn the basics then you start innovating and your skills will improve.

  • @hoangtu3366
    @hoangtu3366 6 днів тому

    Thanks Peter. You are correct that corporate wear had gone through many changes. My favourite looks has always been the Italian style, predominantly Armani & Zenga because they are timeless and excellent quality. Fast fashion has never resonate with me because it's design to be discarded. I prefer to keep my clothes in top condition and use it for a long time. It's more about cost per wear. My favourite clothes are natural fibres because it feels better & age better than polyester or nylon.
