A new Gustin Workshirt that manages to stay true to the roots of this vintage garment while also being easy to enjoy right on day one. 
Our favorite dye dialed up with a high-texture dobby weave. Shirting with texture is hard to find. The dobby weave is an ideal way to address that. It creates a subtle depth in a simple raised texture that makes this fabric stand out and feel totally unique. The impossibly inky indigo dye means it starts out rich and will evolve beautifully with time and wear. Think of it as the perfect blank canvas in clothing form. 
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 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.
For production on these, we're teaming up with a small shop that exclusively sews reproduction workwear for Japanese brands - always above $350 per shirt. Their work is immaculate, and we're excited to be partnering with them.
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.

Customer Feedback on #42 INDIGO DOBY WORKSHIRT
"Fits me great, sleeves are long enough for my arms. The color and texture are really nice. It's the perfect weight for a shirt, heavy enough for an attractive drape, but light enough for year-round wear and it doesnt feel like a jacket. It's very soft and it looks like it's going to fade really nicely. The cut of the collar and the chin strap look great too."
