Description

A workshirt cut in 100% cotton chambray with a coarser yarn and less indigo, built in the Big Fit for a broad, relaxed silhouette with Inspired by the everyday chambray work shirts found in hardware stores and workshops throughout the 1950s and ’60s, this shirt takes a slightly rougher, more utilitarian approach to the classic. The 100% cotton chambray is woven with a coarser yarn and less indigo for a lighter, more broken-in appearance. Cut in our Big Fit, it has an intentionally generous shoulder and body that gives the shirt the proportions of a true vintage work shirt. Constructed with flat-felled seams and chainstitch throughout to reinforce its workwear roots.

How it's made

Chambray

A plain weave with colored yarn one way and white yarn the other, so it looks like a light denim.

It's lighter and cooler than denim, with no stretch unless elastane is added.
