A gold-standard workshirt using Cone Mills selvedge denim, sewn up right in the USA. Best of all, thanks to a few customers who have lovingly worn their Cone 101 Workshirts for years, we can show you the incredible look that awaits you in time.
This Gustin workshirt is made from sanforized raw selvedge denim from Cone Mills. This was our first truly selvedge denim workshirt and remains our best sell. Today is really about showing you where it goes, thanks to some stellar wear-in shots from customers. The start is as classic and as you can get - dark indigo, crisp white weft, starchy. The perfect raw denim blank canvas. Wearing it creates true art. Creases begin to set in on the arms. The indigo begins to chip off along the hems and high points in the fabric allowing the weft to create beautiful highs of color. The overall shade begins to soften. Each workshirt is a unique creation that reflects your life. A true workwear icon.
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.
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.

Customer Feedback on THE CONE 101 WORKSHIRT
"This was my first item from Gustin and I’m definitely sold on their denim. The shirt fits perfectly and I already got compliments on it. It feels of quality and like it will last me a long time. The only note I would make is that the button holes seem to have some stray threads that can make it difficult to unbutton but I cannot fault too much as it is already head and shoulders about what you would get at a store."
-Thomas V. | Verified Buyer
"I just got the shirt and am impressed by the details. The fit is snug for a medium but the raw denim should stretch out with wear. I look forward to seeing how it looks after a few seasons of wear."
-Michael H. | Verified Buyer
"Beautiful shirt, well made and great fit. I am tall and lanky, and the slim cut size Small fit perfectly. It will only feel better as it breaks in."
-Michael B. | Verified Buyer
"This is a great shirt, as advertised. It is a little lighter than I expected, but it is perfect. I wish they would make this same shirt, cone denim with Gold threading. I think that would be sick. The 2XL fit exactly how I wanted it to."
-Eddie K. | Verified Buyer

What Customers Are Saying
"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
