Raw denim shirts are a basic garment for denim enthusiasts looking to branch out from jeans. It gives a different fade experience than a pair of jeans or a denim jacket, mostly because its gets more frequent washes due to the close contact with heavy sweat areas of the body, even with the use of a t-shirt underneath.
The most popular models are the slimmer fitting western shirts, characterized by the front and back yoke and snap buttons, and the more regular fitting workwear shirts, with oversized utility pockets, regular buttons and reinforced elbows.
