#193 The Whiskey Selvedge Workshirt

Let's start with the obvious - an absolutely gorgeous and rare color. Like nothing we've run before, this honey-tinged brown warp is a stunner. Paired with a white weft, you retain the classic denim look we love. Slubby yarns bring the surface to life with organic irregularity. Crosshatching lends a true retro vintage denim appeal. The 14 ounce starched base means you get a rugged, tough denim ready to take years of hard wear. The red ID is a classic finisher. This is just beautiful, raw selvedge denim.

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 a 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 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 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 shirts 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.
