Details & care
Fortela’s Texan shirt, made in Italy, is inspired by Western tradition and the archetypal frontier cowboy – the perfect blend of craftsmanship and the grunge allure of the 19th-century American West. Crafted from 100% cotton denim, a premium, soft, lightweight fabric. The D200 and D300 are treated with a light wash that highlights the exceptional quality of material, creating a worn effect. Garment-dyed, the color penetrates irregularly into the raw denim fibers, resulting in natural tonal variations that make each Fortela Texan shirt unique, lending authentic vintage charm. With its semi-slim fit, the shirt adheres like a second skin, enhancing the silhouette. The lowered armhole contributes to its exceptional fit, allowing freedom of movement. Western yokes are the defining detail. Extra layers of V-shaped single-stitch fabric are added to the back at the shoulders and the front above the double pockets, enhancing both durability and sophistication. The shirt features a small pointed collar and squared cuffs with a classic three-button closure, including three differently colored buttons on the left sleeve. Real horn snap buttons adorn the pocket flaps and the front closure. Fortela's signature orange stitching, located at the bottom left near the rear hem, underscores the garment's identity and high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring that this shirt is made to be worn and cherished for years. This denim shirt is a versatile wardrobe essential, particularly in spring. It complements smart-casual outfits and all-denim looks, breaking traditional dress codes with the bold appeal of indigo. Inspired by an earthy style that embodies its origins, this shirt is a fitting tribute to the horseback hero and encapsulates the iconic Western imagery of Hollywood cinema. Fortela’s Texan shirt boasts timeless allure, thanks to its ability to adapt to changing times while embodying countless different identities. It has become a cultural icon in the collective imagination, enduring across generations. Combining the rugged masculinity of the American cowboy with the elegance of handcrafted shirt-making, wearing this piece means reliving a historic era while expressing pride in oneself and one’s individuality. Initially born as workwear following the success of blue jeans, it symbolizes strength, sacrifice, and dedication, as well as freedom and nonconformity.
