From color to feel to the rare selvedge composition, this is retro inspired fabric at it's best. It doesn't shout, just methodically captures the spirit of a fabric designed for work, in this case the vintage military twill. An 8 ounce base gets an extra tight weave and slightly starchy feel. You can tell it's tough, but not overbearing. The colors are saturated and just that little bit dialed in so that even if you've seen then before, they're just a cut above, from khaki, to olive drab to midnight blue to grey. The finish touch is a rare selvedge composition. This is just quality material and the perfect starting point for our Workshirt.

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 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. Color and pattern define the vintage tone. Bold color combinations featuring green with orange, blue, red and white highlights are combined in a chunky, thick plaid pattern. It's a true vintage look. Icing on the cake is the rare selvedge composition with thick red ID. This is the type of fabric you only see out of Japan and our intricately constructed workshirt gives it the showcase it deserves.

There are a number of construction details that define our workshirt. The first is ample triple needle work with a classic chain stitch runoff. Triple needle is a specialized stitch not found on a standard button downs and that serves as the heart of any good work shirt. Ours gets triple need flat felled yoke and side seams with chain stitched bottoms. We also allow the side seam chain stitch to “runoff” 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 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 work wear 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.
