The real rare stuff from Japan - that's what we're showing you today. If you're a fan of indigo dye, as we are, this is a showcase of how beautiful indigo can be, woven into one of our favorite denim alternatives. A classic taken to the ultimate level - the Indigo Dyed Felt Moleskin. 
You can usually spot a garment that's indigo dyed from far away. It's something about that blue. It's richer, inkier, deeper. It's just gorgeous. That's the first thing that hits you when you see these pants. And indeed, each gets the indigo treatment, rare for both moleskin and corduroy. Something Japan does better than most. Each will age like a great pair of raw denim. Unique to you. The only way to describe the feel of this moleskin is pure luxury. It feels like a cross between velvet and felt. The almost peach-like surface is one of the softest we've experienced. It's the contrast of weight, density and suppleness that's so special. Simply one of the most special workshirts you'll own.
Several construction details define our workshirt. The first is ample triple needlework 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 need 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. They’re a deep navy shade with a slightly domed top and two holes for securing. 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.
