Ecru/Cream Western Shirt Suggestions
I've been trying to pick out a cream-ish western shirt, but I've really been struggling to actually commit to one. I know in the end I'm gonna need to kind of just vibe it out, but I'd like to at least narrow my options a little before I do that. I know that I primarily want this for summer wear as a top layer and layering with casual tailoring or knitwear in the cooler months - sort of splitting the difference between the way a few users here wear them (somewhere in a venn diagram between beans and warpweft I suppose).
The option sort of staring me in the face is obviously Wythe's tencel shirts, but I feel like their two colors that might work are too brown (nutmeg) or too white (natural). I also don't know whether that tencel gabardine would look too wack replacing an ocbd under a blazer, and the lack of a front yoke is a bit disappointing to me. I really like the decent sized collar though, and the fact that it's not just a plain denim/cotton twill (I'll mostly be wearing it with jeans, and appreciate a bit of textural variety) and isn't a particularly slim cut.
Does anyone have any suggestions at a similar price point to Wythe that would fit the bill? Or just things to look for when shopping secondhand/vintage to narrow my search down?

Bone Ecru
Our western shirt in bone ecru is a favorite. Made from upcycled and undyed cotton, it retains its natural ecru color giving it an organic look that can be worn with anything. This is a snap shirt you can wear with jeans to a dive bar, or under a suit at a wedding. It's a classic made in U.S.A. snap western shirt.

I have a couple friends with that West Major one it’s really nice looking on
Definitely not lying about the slim fit though

I thrifted one of the west major ones one time, nice but definitely slim
i have the wythe one and it definitely has a more natural-yellowish look rather than true white. i'm not sure how it would look with a blazer. i believe one of the old mods (Chuck?) wore it with one a few times though
These are all great recommendations tysm soup
I'm hesitant to say it bc slm ft but there's a taylor stitch one in a cotton/linen/tencel blend I actually really like the idea of (cool pockets, neat fabric) and would probably buy if I didn't completely mistrust their ability to cut a shirt
Also cool! Is the color on yours the one they call natural or is it the sort of yellow or khaki color they did a couple seasons ago? If natural actually skews more creamish irl I'm definitely a bit more interested than before
i bought it S/S 2022 and just checked receipt and it says "natural"
i got it at nordstrom. no idea why it's listed as "high-low," it's the tencel
I don’t know if you have any recent experience with Taylor Sittch but I’ve found their shirts fuller cut lately. The linen westerns are nice. They have accurate measurements on the site too if you are concerned with how they are cut.
