Wythe

 

Wythe: Western Roots. East Coast Refinement.

Wythe is a new kind of American heritage brand, one that respects the past but dresses for the present. Founded by Peter Middleton, Wythe draws on the spirit of classic Western films, Ivy League style, vintage outdoor wear, and country gentleman aesthetics. All are reinterpreted with modern fits, ethical production, and exceptional fabrics.

From rugged flannel shirts and Western yokes to suede trucker jackets and washed Oxford cloth, Wythe creates clothing that feels storied, but never costume-like. It’s a style that’s as at home at a cabin up north as it is at brunch in downtown Birmingham.

At Claymore Shop, we create a seasonal selection of Wythe’s most iconic pieces, garments that bring texture, nostalgia, and modern-day versatility to the traditional wardrobe.

 

Heritage Without Pretension. Style Without Rules.

Our clients love Wythe because it feels familiar, yet not predictable. It blends rugged American style with subtle Ivy League influences, resulting in pieces that are deeply wearable, highly expressive, and refreshingly unforced.

Whether it’s the flannel shirt that looks like your grandfather’s but fits like it was made for you, or the chore coat that pairs effortlessly with modern denim and Alden boots, Wythe offers something rare: authenticity without irony.

 

Why Claymore Clients Reach for Wythe:

  • It brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia to casual dressing
  • It's built for Michigan’s seasons: from crisp fall days to breezy spring weekends
  • It pairs naturally with other Claymore favorites like Drake’s knitwear, Alden boots, and Ring Jacket outerwear
  • It speaks to artists, collectors, stylists, and outdoorsmen, men who value character and quality over trend

 

Wythe is perfect for the customer who appreciates a bit of edge and texture in his wardrobe without losing the core of classic menswear.

 

The Everyday Classics You Didn’t Know You Needed

At Claymore Shop, we select Wythe pieces that bring a rugged, textural contrast to tailored wardrobes, and stand on their own for casual, everyday wear. Each season, our selection includes hard-wearing essentials and richly styled statement pieces that feel vintage-inspired but modern in fit and feel.

 

🔹 Brushed Flannel Shirts

The heart of the Wythe collection. Available in vintage checks and plains, these flannels are brushed for softness and garment-washed for a lived-in look. Clients wear them layered under sport coats, over tees, or buttoned to the top with a Drake’s scarf.

 

🔹 Western Snap Shirts

Wythe’s signature. Made from unique fabrics like undyed cotton, deadstock selvage, and washed indigo, these shirts feature pointed yokes, pearl snaps, and a tailored body that are authentic but never theatrical.

 

🔹 Suede Jackets & Trucker Coats

Soft-structured outerwear pieces, such as the Wythe suede trucker or duck canvas field coat, offer year-round wearability and effortless style.  Layer over Hamilton shirts or knits for a perfect blend of city and country aesthetics.

 

🔹 Indigo-Dyed and Washed Twills

Whether in overshirts, chore jackets, or dyed canvas trousers, Wythe excels at rich, washed fabrics that break in beautifully with wear.

 

We rotate our Wythe selection with the seasons, featuring more flannel and outerwear in the fall, lighter cotton and overshirts in the spring, and always with a sharp eye toward garments that feel useful, expressive, and rooted in American style.

 

Authentic Textures. Contemporary Fit. Timeless Feel.

Wythe may draw inspiration from old rodeo shirts and vintage deadstock, but the cut and feel are unmistakably modern. These pieces are built to be lived in, layered, and loved season after season.

 

🔹 Fit Notes:

  • Shirts feature a trim-but-not-tight fit, room through the chest and shoulders, tapered at the waist
  • Sleeves and hems are thoughtfully proportioned for untucked or layered wear
  • Outerwear pieces have a relaxed drape without looking boxy
  • Ideal for clients who wear Drake’s, J. Mueser, or Ring Jacket, but want a more casual counterpoint

 

🔹 Fabric Character:

  • Brushed cotton flannels: softly washed, often yarn-dyed, with incredible hand-feel
  • Undyed canvas and selvage: subtle variation and organic texture throughout
  • Overdyed twills and garment-washed indigos: fade beautifully over time
  • Suede and washed duck canvas: soft to the touch, built to last

 

🔹 Claymore Styling Notes:

  • Wear a Wythe western shirt under a Drake’s Shetland sweater with Alden Indy boots
  • Layer a brushed flannel with a J. Mueser sport coat and Edward Green chukkas for relaxed fall polish
  • Pair a canvas overshirt with Hamilton trousers and a vintage watch for weekend ease

 

Wythe pieces are meant to develop character. They look better broken in, creased, and well-worn, like the best parts of American menswear always have.

 

Claymore Clients' Most Wanted from Wythe

Whether you’re discovering Wythe for the first time or building a wardrobe around its signature textures, these are the pieces that consistently draw attention and often sell out.

 

🔹 Brushed Cotton Flannel in Antique Tartan

The flannel that made clients fall in love with Wythe. Rich in color, soft in hand, and cut just right — this shirt pairs effortlessly with raw denim, cords, or even under a navy blazer.

 

🔹 Washed Indigo Western Shirt

A standout in every collection. The pointed yoke, pearl snaps, and gently worn-in feel lend it a Western flair without appearing theatrical. Works brilliantly under Drake’s knitwear or layered with a chore coat.

 

🔹 Undyed Cotton Canvas Chore Jacket

A go-to transitional outerwear piece. Earthy, breathable, and full of texture, this jacket plays well with flannels, sweaters, and denim — especially in spring and fall.

 

🔹 Suede Trucker in Whiskey Brown

Supple, warm, and endlessly stylish, this piece adds a touch of luxury to rugged outfits. Clients love it paired with a Hamilton button-down and cords, and Alden boots — equally at home on a weekend trip or a casual dinner out.

 

🔹 Overdyed Indigo Pullover

Casual, comfortable, and quietly striking. The subtle fading and open collar make it a favorite layering piece in early fall or spring.

 

At Claymore Shop, we stock Wythe pieces that have both character and function - items you’ll reach for often and love more with each wear.
