#160 Japan Silk Nep Workshirt

This is one sweet denim from start to finish. It's the perfect blend of rare ingredients, character and classic fundamentals. Japan is the master. Here, we start with pure luxury in the form of silk yarn. One of the highest silk compositions we've run at 42%. It's paired with a classic dark indigo dyed cotton. The result is instantly recognizable, classic raw denim with a level up in feel. You get the rawness we all love, but it's just a big notch more wearable. That wearability is great because you'll want to show off the super neppy finish on the surface. Organic and unique, the surface explodes with these tiny tufts of yarn. It lends the denim a hand crafted feel that sets it apart of anything else while not being over the top. This is simply a special fabric you will feel and enjoy every day.

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 standard button downs 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.
