Why It's a Big Deal
After years of writing about and reviewing clothes, I’ve become a huge fan of Buck Mason (along with most at Men’s Journal). The Southern California brand’s blend of heritage aesthetic and materials into modern basics is unmatched, but the clothes can be a bit pricey, and they seldom (if ever) go on sale. But recently, the brand began testing a partnership with Nordstrom Rack to offer deals on some of its bestsellers. One of them is this classic white tee that I've personally tried and love, and it's nearly half off.
The $48 Buck Mason Slub Cotton T-Shirt is now just $25 at Nordstrom Rack. It's one of a select run of T-shirts the brand has listed at Nordstrom Rack, and from what I've noticed, sizes are running out swiftly because of how rare Buck Mason deals are to find. For example, the small is gone in this shirt, but you can still get sizes medium to 2XL.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Material: 50% cotton, 50% slub cotton
- Fit: Classic
- Origin: United States
- Care: Machine washable
This white T-shirt is classic in every sense of the word, crafted from 145 GSM cotton jersey grown in the U.S., with a slub texture for a vintage look and feel. The fabric is garment-washed with enzymes to give you a super soft, lived-in texture right out of the box, too. With a true-to-size fit and a medium weight, it’s something you’ll never want to take off.
You may be asking yourself why a $24 shirt is worth the extra money when you can get a Hanes tee (also 100% cotton) for $8. For one, you’re getting a noticeably more refined fabric with Buck Mason, as slub cotton has a texture and broken-in feel that your average ring-spun cotton tee can’t replicate. On top of that, Buck Mason’s tee is made in the United States and feels less like a bulk-pack staple and more like a thoughtfully made essential.

My Honest Thoughts
Since there aren’t any reviews at Nordstrom Rack, I’ll dive into my thoughts on the shirt from when I tested it. This tee played a big role in putting the brand on the map, and it’s one of the comfiest shirts I’ve ever worn.
The slub cotton is tempered through a garment-washing process, giving it that vintage feel, and the midweight construction feels like the perfect weight. I personally thought the texture was one of the biggest highlights, because I haven’t experienced any other shirt that feels the same. It’s also quite breathable and form-fitting, without feeling constraining.
Buck Mason’s Slub Cotton T-Shirt is made in the States with true attention to detail, and you can grab one for just $24 right now. It's just one piece in a limited but well-thought-out collection of Buck Mason gear on sale at Nordstrom Rack. These are the other pieces we'd recommend checking out while sizes are still available:
Buck Mason Pima Cotton Slub Curved Hem T-Shirt, $25 (was $48) at Nordstrom Rack
This is the pima cotton/slub combo version of the brand’s tee, and it’s a good choice if you prefer a slightly smoother fabric.
Buck Mason Pima Cotton Curved Hem T-Shirt, $25 (was $48) at Nordstrom Rack
This shirt is one of the softest in the bunch, crafted from pima cotton and finished with a curved hem for layering.
Buck Mason Pima Cotton Crewneck T-Shirt, $25 (was $48) at Nordstrom Rack
If you prefer a more classic crewneck style without the curved hem, this pick has you covered, and it’s made with the same super-soft pima cotton.
