Coats and jackets over western and flannel shirts
What coats and jackets options do you like to go for over either western or flannel shirts?
I feel like trucker jackets are a simple classic over either.
I know Derek Guy rates tweed sports coats over western shirts.
What about longer coats? I think flannels can work with a casual coat.

Coloured undershirts
What do you do for undershirt colours? I usually wear white because it is simple and helps most shirts that I would open to reveal an undershirt pop, but I have been considering some other coloured undershirts to build into outfits.
To be clear (and I did ask this before without clarifying) I am not talking about dress shirts where I would stick to white/gray. I am talking about t shirts layered under anything you would wear as an overshirt including flannels and western shirts, where it would not be unusual to wear it open or with multiple buttons undone in a casual setting.
This has included going for black to match with black jeans and make a shirt stand out more, or getting a dark green undershirt to give festive vibes to a dark coloured top.
Bonus points for any advice on when to choose an off white instead of a white under shirt.

nudie jeans belt
Opinion on a belt like this? My other belts are much more typical and this looks a bit fun but not too costumey.
And has anyone had a Nudie jeans belt to comment on their quality?

wrangler flannel western shirts quality and finish
Has anyone had experience with Wranglers Western flannel shirts?
How well do they do after a few years? Not expecting lifelong quality like some classic flannel brands but hoping better than uniqlo and gap that feel thin after a couple of years.
How is the hem on them? In pictures they look like they have a strange rough hem on all wrangler western shirts.

Do navy accessories clash or not fit with anything?
Does a navy hat/scarf still work with black clothes or is it better to go black on black?
Is navy with green ok? I know people are funny about blue and green.
I asked this before an got the answer that navy and black work well with most things but I am really asking if I should strongly consider a black scarf instead of navy to wear with black/green clothes.

black or navy for versatile accessories?
With things like scarves, is black or brown more versatile? Most of my coats and jackets are either black or green/brown/grey.
Looking at something like this

can/should I polish the buttons on jeans and Jean jackets
I got a vintage denim jacket which looks great but the buttons are almost too tarnished, should I polish them somehow?
I tried googling for cleaning stuff but it is bizarrely unhelpful.

wranglers, how much difference does stretch make
I heard wranglers are a great choice for jeans, but aside from comfort, is it a bad idea to get stretch jeans in the long run? Stretch jeans run a bit cheaper but inunderstand they wear through a bit faster don't they?
Wranglers offer lots of levels of stretch, is 99% cotton ok or am I really better off going for 100%.

Should you mix and match denim brands?
I have tended to get Levis stuff, used to get gap. Am I missing out on Lee and Wrangler? Does double/triple denim look better or worse if it is matching brands?

do you get your jeans hemmed?
Do you get your jeans hemmed? Or do you just roll the cuffs to the length you want? I am buying some new jeans but wondering if I am right to assume I should get them hemmed. Last time I went a bit too far and don't quite have enough length for some shorter rolls.
