Our take on the Magnetic Closure Western Shirt in Star Sapphire

This is a Western-style long-sleeve shirt built for men who have trouble with buttons. The front placket and barrel cuffs close with magnets, so it goes on and comes off without pinching or fumbling. The knit twill is a polyester, viscose and spandex blend that stretches and needs little ironing. It suits men with arthritis, Parkinson's or limited hand strength who still want a casual, rugged look. Against ordinary snap-front Western shirts, it trades the snap placket for magnets; against other adaptive shirts, it keeps the pearl snap styling and back yoke that most adaptive lines skip. Buyers rate it highly and say the magnets hold, though some find it runs small and snug through the stomach.

Questions and answers

How do the magnetic closures work?

The front placket and barrel cuffs close with magnets instead of buttons. You pull the shirt on and the edges line up and snap together, which takes less grip and pinch strength than buttons.

Does it fit true to size?

Buyers report it runs a tad small and is trimmer around the stomach than MagnaReady's flannels. If you are between sizes or want room through the middle, consider sizing up.

Is it good for someone with arthritis or Parkinson's?

Yes. It is designed for limited mobility and dexterity, and buyers say it lets people with finger dexterity issues dress themselves. The magnetic cuffs help most with sleeves.

How does it compare with MagnaReady's flannel shirts?

It uses the same magnetic concept but a lighter knit twill instead of flannel. It is trimmer through the stomach and less warm, so it suits milder weather and a dressier Western look.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

The knit twill has some weight, and some wearers who run hot find it too heavy. It works as a casual shirt on its own in mild weather rather than a cold-weather layer.

What is in the box?

One shirt. It has a magnetic front placket, magnetic barrel cuffs, a chest pocket, a Western back yoke and pearl snap accents.
