White Mountaineering   Seam Taping Yarn Dyed Check Mix Western Shirt

Basing their design on traditional Western shirts, White Mountaineering added their twist to the classic silhouette. This new Western is constructed from three different check fabrics, which are evenly distributed on the various panels to make up the shirt. Instead of using ordinary plastic buttons, they have opted to use original snap buttons that are usually seen on their technical outerwear, giving the piece a modern aesthetic. On the inside, all of the seams are taped using branded taping – normally used on their technical outerwear as well – which provides additional durability. This shirt can be found at White Mountaineering stockists around the world or at FIGURE SHIZUOKA in Japan.
