Pendleton shirts really are perfect! They come in a variety of plaids, short or long sleeves, and in signature wool or cotton.

To get you in the spirit, HERE are some Pendleton archival images!  

First up is the Long Sleeve Rider Shirt in blue/tan/green, a heavier weight, wool long sleeve shirt.

The woolen plaids are woven in the company-owned mill in Washougal, WA, where the scoured wool is carded, dyed and spun.  Here I am, wearing the shirt as a light jacket. The weight is great for the crisp fall weather!

This Long Sleeve Sir Pen shirt in stewart black is also Pendleton wool, but is slightly thicker....

...See? 

Compare the wool shirts with the cotton button-downs, such as this Long Sleeve Street Shirt in barn red!  The plaid is very Pendleton, but this shirt is for warmer weather or for layering.  Here's the Short Sleeve Button Down shirt in red/navy plaid The cotton Madras cloth of these shirts are a plain weave with dobby texture.  This is the Short Sleeve Oceanside Button Down in navy/gold plaid Much of the production of this cotton is done by hand in India, giving the cloth unique qualities! 

Here's the Short Sleeve Oceanside Button down in navy/white plaid In the cotton Madras and other plaids, the color palette was inspired by classic preppy looks. Between the wool and the cotton is this medium weight wool shirt, the Long Sleeve Rider shirt in plaid blue/tan, which is perfect for indoor and outdoor wear. Here is the drape of a medium weight wool.... ....versus the heavy weight wool! The wool is thicker and the shirt is slightly more rigid.  The fabric takes its name from Oregon's Umatilla County, where Pendleton buys wool from local sheep ranchers. Are you obsessed yet?

Behind the Seams: Pendleton Shirts
by Rachel Liu
Ever wonder while surfing the OC site, "Just how sheer is that fabric?" Or maybe, "Are those shoes actually comfortable?" What about, "How much could I really fit into that bag?" Well, I actually know that you do––I handle customer service and webstore operations! Taking what I hear from you, I'll be blogging about the details of our most popular items! Join me as I go Behind the Seams. Next up: Pendleton shirts!

By now, isn't it obvious how much Opening Ceremony digs Pendleton? Their much-loved woolen fabric and prints started a movement, and were unexpectedly (yet appropriately!) used for Timberland boots, Opening Ceremony dresses, and scarves. But Pendleton isn't just about their comfy wool blankets and coats, they also have a long history of plaid shirts.

Pendleton Plaid Shirts are a hallmark of Pendleton Woolen Mills, where the first one for men was produced in 1924! Pendleton drew inspiration from their archives and vast library of plaids that were created over the years to bring us classically preppy designs. I often get questions about the weight and thickness of these shirts, which come in both wool and cotton. They're perfect for warm weather and the inevitable transition to colder weather, too. Scroll down and see why!
