The Evolution of the Freenote Cloth Modern Western Sawtooth Shirt
The Modern Western has firmly established itself as a foundational staple in the Freenote Cloth collection. Drawing direct inspiration from vintage mid-century sawtooth Western shirts, this garment honors traditional ranchwear while introducing refined modern tailoring. Traditional sawtooth shirts are recognized by their distinct double-pointed pocket flaps, but Freenote enhances this historic silhouette with superior construction techniques and a more balanced, wearable fit. It delivers the perfect amount of Western character without feeling like a costume, making it one of the most versatile denim shirts in modern menswear.
Japanese Selvedge Denim and Signature American Craftsmanship
Crafted from an 11 oz selvedge denim sourced from Yoshiwa Mills in Japan, this shirt provides substantial weight and structure while feeling exceptionally soft from day one thanks to a one-year stone wash process. The subtle greying and indigo contrast achieved by the stone wash mirrors years of natural wear and exposure to the elements. Exceptional details abound, including custom Italian rope-rimmed snap buttons with genuine bone centers, an enamel collar button, and exposed selvedge ticking along the side gussets. Assembled in the USA using heavy-duty 1/8" double-needle stitching, the Modern Western is built to handle daily wear and age gracefully over time.
