August is the tail end of summer—the part that’s a little softer, a little slower, and a whole lot sweeter.
It’s the last month of cottage hangs, outdoor concerts, rodeos, country fairs, and late-night bonfires where the music plays long after the fire burns out. And while the weather might still be hot, you can feel fall around the edges.
That’s where Four Elks comes in. We’re here for the folks who want Canadian-made style that feels good, lasts long, and fits wherever your boots take you. From festival tanks to cozy shawls, we’ve got the kind of clothes that carry you from August into autumn without missing a beat.
First Things First: All Our Tees Are Canadian-Made
Before we get into outfits, let’s talk quality—because that’s where we stand tall.
Every Four Elks tee is:
- Designed, dyed, and sewn in Toronto, Ontario
- Printed with water-based inks in London, ON
- Made from premium cotton (super soft, breathable, and durable)
- Produced in small batches—we’re talking slow fashion, not fast fads
That means you’re supporting real Canadian workers, sustainable methods, and a business that actually gives a damn about what you wear.

SUN-DRENCHED STYLES: FESTIVAL, FAIR & FUN
1. LET’S GET DIRTY TEE – ORANGE
There’s something about this bold orange that screams “bring on the beer gardens.” Whether you’re at a tractor pull or square dancing at a street fest, this tee gets attention in all the right ways.
Why we love it for August:
- Easy to spot in a crowd (and in photos)
- Comfy enough to wear all day in the heat
- Hides dust, dirt, BBQ sauce, you name it
Pair it with:
- Cutoff denim shorts
- Cowhide boots (check out our boot selection)
- Messy bun + turquoise studs from our jewellery collection
2. SUNSHINE & WHISKEY TEE – SKY BLUE
This is the dockside tee of the season. Whether you’re cracking a cold one at the lake or dancing barefoot at a beach party, the sky-blue colour hits just right.
Why we love it for August:
- Breathable fabric for humid days
- A cute & comfy nod to country girl summer
- Great for layering when the breeze rolls in
Pair it with:
- Light denim, a ball cap, and the Tropical Cowgirl Kimono
- White or two-tone cowhide boots
- Leather wrap bracelet or delicate silver chain
COWBOY BOOTS: END-OF-SUMMER ESSENTIALS
You can’t talk August style without talkin’ boots.
We’ve got over 200 pairs of cowboy boots in store and online. All are upcycled, cleaned, and restored—so you're getting one-of-a-kind, eco-conscious boots that already have stories in ‘em.
Why our boots are perfect for August:
- Broken in, ready to wear
- Durable for dusty fields, campsites, festivals
- Cool enough for shorts, warm enough for jeans
SHAWL SEASON IS STARTING...
You might not need a full jacket just yet, but you will want something to toss over your shoulders once the sun dips.
THE WHEAT SHAWL
Made in Canada and as soft as a cabin blanket, this shawl’s the ultimate late summer layer.
Why we love it for August:
- Oversized but breathable
- Looks amazing over any Four Elks tee
- Perfect for bonfires, boat rides, and porch sits
Pairs best with:
- Weed, Willie & Whiskey Tee – Olive Green
- Leggings or bootcut jeans
- Leather cuff & simple earrings
FOR THE MINI COUNTRY FANS
We didn’t forget the littles. August is full of messy, outdoorsy adventures, and our KIDS DIRT TEE – PURPLE is made to keep up.
Why it works:
- Soft, durable, and built for movement
- Bright colour that hides the stains
- Matches the adult "Let’s Get Dirty" tee for cute family fits
COWHIDE ACCESSORIES THAT WORK YEAR-ROUND
Yes, summer is winding down—but cowhide never goes out of style. August is a great time to grab a cowhide bag, wallet, clutch, or rug that transitions perfectly into fall.
Our cowhide collection includes:
- Crossbody bags & backpacks
- Hand-cut clutches & wristlets
- Natural cowhide rugs
- Keychains, koozies & more
And remember—we’re London’s ONLY cowhide supplier!
STYLE TIP: MIX SUMMER & FALL PIECES
August is all about versatility. You want to soak in the sun but also prep for cooler nights.
Here’s how we recommend styling:
- Tees like “Let’s Get Dirty” or “Sunshine & Whiskey” stay in rotation
- Layer with the Wheat Shawl or a jean jacket
- Swap shorts for jeans, but keep the boots
- Add fall accessories: scarves, layered bracelets, or big earrings from our jewellery line
