Great grey denim from Japan. Our authentic Workshirt style. One of the best values we've offered on a style like this. It's hard to ask for more. Best of all is how well it pairs with your favorite pair of indigo selvedge denim. The Titanium Slub Workshirt.
Workshirts are one of the best showcases for classic raw denim, but sometimes you need to add variety. If you want to pair a workshirt with indigo denim, an alternative color for the workshirt provides a nice contrast. This is when we turn to grey denim. Today's example gets a metallic grey warp and crisp white weft. You get a fresh color while still keeping the traditional denim look. A tight, slubby grain brings the surface to life. The 11 ounce weight is a good sweetspot - heft and wearability. We finish it with classic contrast orange denim thread and an unbeatable value.
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 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 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 are 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.

Customer Feedback on #172 TITANIUM SLUB WORKSHIRT
"Hi
I dig my workshirt!
And I just received my sky blue one too
I’m really not a fan of the extra collar tab…
It sticks straight out - unless you button all the way up…so I may have to have it altered …
I have received 3 of 4 pieces
And look forward to my sky blue jeans next…
Living in LA I look forward to cooler weather to start wearing my 2 cool outfits!
Thanks
Chris"

"Interesting experience. Well, before I speak on the shirt, I have to say a little bit about the shopping process at Gustin. This was my 1st time buying from Gustin. Also my 1st time ever going thru a Funding process, and then waiting on the actual production of the limited batch of shirts to be made in this particular style. So the time amount, I had to wait from the day I purchased, to the day I received the shirt was a week or 2, over 4 months. It felt even longer than that, only because again this was my initial experience and I had been growing eager and anxious to receive my order. So yes the wait time was definitely unusual for me, but that was all mentioned and understood when I placed the order. Anyway!!! Now let's get to the shirt itself. Aaaah one word. AWESOME!!!!!
WOW!! This my friend, is a classic workshirt of High Quality, made with the purpose of: "built to last" down to every last stitch! It is thicker and made with more substance than I anticipated. More like a warm Shirt/Jacket than just a shirt. For me it will definitely be worn in the winter or fall seasons. The denim material and care put into this shirt seem to be of top grade, and well produced. The XL size fits my frame well, I could easily layer underneath this shirt if I wanted to. For someone with long arms, the arm length seems to be just slightly long, but still the overall fit is good!! That said I could probably fit into their size Large, if I wanted a more tapered-minimalist fit. This is the type of shirt, that feels well machined, you would probably want to wear it repeatedly, to kind of break it in. So again, I love the shirt, it was a very good buy at the price range. The only thing that will take some getting used to is the funding process and wait time for production. (But like I mentioned before, that was all understood upon purchasing, so be patient) Would I buy from Gustin again? Yes, without a doubt!! But if I found this same shirt at different retailer, that ships this same ready made product within a few days for up to or around 50 more dollars, I would do so, if I could avoid the wait time and get the same shirt shipped out immediately. LOL But I guess thats neither here nor there. OVERALL, the shopping experience will take some getting used to, (but it also feels like a very customized intimate experience almost as if you areva partner to the company, more than a customer), the pricepoint is great, and the workshirt itself is a very much appreciated item, well worth the wait!! AwESOME!"
