#110 IndigoXSaddle Blanket Workshirt

Two absolutely beautiful fabrics joined to create a totally unique style. On the top you get an impossibly inky double indigo dyed twill. It's one of our favorite styles from the richness of color to the touch of formality to the way it ages. Backing the top twill is a vintage inspired saddle blanket striped chambray. A true retro beauty, full of red and blue stripes. Richly slubby yarns throughout make for incredible grain. It's truly a thing of beauty. This rare double fabric has a unique sense of heft and volume.

Our workshirts are true throwback garments. Inspired by the style's origins of utility and ruggedness. Finding fabric with the right character for this style is key and we have fresh new examples today. Each starts in a truly superheavy form. Heavy cotton yarns woven loosely give this fabric the ideal balance of heft with a pliable, soft hand. It's that ideal combination we're always searching for.

There are a number of construction details that define our workshirt. The first is ample triple needlework with a classic chain stitch runoff. The triple needle is a specialized stitch not found on a standard button down and that serves as the heart of any good work shirt. Ours gets triple-needle flat-felled yoke and side seams with chain stitched bottoms. We also allow the side seam chain stitch to “run off” the end giving you three chain stitch ends on each side. We bar tack to ensure the runoff can’t compromise the security of the side seam. The second detail is double chest pockets. We keep ours a bit cleaner, without flaps, but use button closures and double bar tacks in each corner for added strength. The left chest pocket gets the addition of a small pen slot. The third detail is the side hem gussets. It’s a small functional element and looks absolutely great. On our selvedge styles we incorporate the selvedge on the bottom. Finally, we love the chin strap. Ours is small enough to be tasteful while still reminding you of the workwear roots of the garment. We created new custom Corozo buttons specifically for our work shirts. Overall, this is one of our most intricately constructed garments and one of the most costly to produce.

Our workshirts will be available in our Classic and Slim fits. The main differences in details between our workshirts and our other shirting come down to construction - no back box pleat, and differently shaped side scoops. The Slim fit has a more tailored body as compared to our Classic fit. Chest and waist come in to provide a more fitted option. Details are in our fit guide now.
