What makes a shirt feel vintage to us? It usually starts with color. In this case royal blue that has a lovingly aged softness to it. The color has the look of a shirt you've worn well for years. On top of that is a grid patten composed of contrasting white and red that add life without overshadowing the base color. Even better, the flowingly soft feel makes this shirt a true pleasure to wear. A shirt like this simply never goes out of style.

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. Small gusset tabs adorn the bottom hem and 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.
