Chambrays are truly the perfect companion for our vintage workshirt style. Both are have rugged, hard wearing roots born in true utility. This is our first heather chambray option and it's an ideal example. It starts with a rare selvedge chambray base. Mills that focus on selvedge usually have a true devotion to the art of fabric making. This one gets a rare heather grey warp on white weft. Highs-and-lows of metallic grey define the top surface. It's a bit starchy at the start, giving it a rugged feel that fits the style, while the 6 ounce weight keeps in wearable. An green selvedge ID is a nice departure. This is a color that pairs so nicely with raw denim. It can take on a rugged or refined look depending on what you pair it with making this one a true daily wear option.

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. 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.
