The other day, a guy was looking at our corduroy shirts here in Phoenix. We have it in two colors - navy and brown. He liked the navy - but said something along the lines of “ah yeah I have to go with the brown, I wear a lot of blue jeans”. Basically saying, he doesn’t think you’re supposed to wear a blue shirt with blue jeans or pants. And it’s simply not true. Yeah I wouldn’t wear the exact same matching blue top and bottom (nor would I do that with any color). But as long as they are a different texture and tone, you absolutely can. And it looks great. Wearing a navy denim shirt or cord shirt with blue jeans or pants is one of my favorite combos. And knowing a lot dudes think they can’t, there’s something about it that feels slightly edgy too.. like your breaking some stupid unwritten rule. Throw a white tank under to add a little pop. TRY IT *** this is Andrew Cruz, a photographer / stylist in Nashville rocking the navy cord shirt (with blue pants)

The houndstooth pattern dates back to 18th century Scotland. Apparently was originally made / worn by Shepards. People thought the little broken check looked like a dogs tooth - so it eventually got the name houndstooth. It was basically OG scottish workwear. Then in the early 20th century, high end tailors and fashion brands started using it. And now we often associate it with super nice coats, pants, etc. Often woven with wool. We made it into a western shirt. Ours is 100% cotton. And it feels awesome.
