#573 Cone Indigo Chambray

When we were looking for the first chambray to run in our new Rugged style, we knew we wanted something classic. Finding an American version from our friends at Cone Mills made this an easy choice. It's everything we could ask for. It starts with the classic color on white chambray composition. In this case the warp is a beautiful, slightly antique blue. The white weft provides the contrasting element we love in chambrays and helps brighten up the overall base shade. It's a solid 6.5 ounces giving it real heft, while a tight weave helps balance the rugged roots. Overall, we love how this shirt manages to stay true to the workwear roots of this style while remaining refined enough for every day wear.

This shirt is sewn up in our new Rugged style. It's designed to be the perfect style for our heavier, more rustic fabrics we run. It's a bit more casual, without being over the top. This style is really set off by two key design cues: a perfectly sized collar without buttons and two clean button closure, rounded chest pockets. These two elements lend the style it’s more casual look while their clean implementation keeps the shirt versatile. A simpler back yoke replaces the box pleat and locker loop of our Classic style. Intricate stitching tacks down the collar stand. The Rugged style inherits the same core fit block from the updated Classic style. The moment we sewed up some flannels and heavy jacquards in this style we knew it was right.

Buttons downs that are made in the USA using our quality of material and construction are typically priced at $175 to $300. The Gustin model, with your support, lets us do much better.
