Our workshirt serves as the perfect canvas for some of the nicest fabrics from our mills in Japan. This is one of our favorite fabrics to use for the workshirt, it's rugged yet comfortable and priced amazingly.
Gustin workshirt made from sanforized cotton twill from one of the finest mills in Japan. We know that a classic indigo denim or hickory stripe makes for a wonderful vintage workshirt. We now know that the right twill can hold its own with those styles and maybe even best them. This light khaki twill is a perfect example. At 10 oz, it's heavy for a shirting material and it feels substantial when you wear it. Our workwear details keep it authentic but the combination of a twill weave with a muted olive shade gives it just a touch more modern look. It's a great balance. The color pairs perfectly with denim and ages just as nicely. A crisp white selvedge ID is icing on the cake. This is a tremendous alternative to the indigo workshirts we've run recently.
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 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 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 $300 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.
