We launched this rare selvedge in pant form, but seeing it paired with our vintage Workshirt style hints at the fact that wearing it this way may be even better. We'll let you decide. A jacquard weave and tonal grey palette brought together masterfully into one of the most unusual selvedges we've seen. The Camo Selvedge Workshirt.
The jacquard weave presents some very unique opportunities to add texture and design to a fabric. Unlike a surface print, the design is woven into the fabric, making it a truly integral part of the style. When done well it can make a piece of fabric art like this. The defining trait is the classic camouflage pattern. The use of a tonal grey palette helps keep things more subtle and lends a nice metallic touch. The jacquard weave even lends subtle texture to the surface. The package is rounded out in classic raw form from the 11 ounce weight to the starched finish. In Workshirt form it's burly. The icing on that cake is the ultra-rare selvedge composition. Classic, maybe not, rare and cool, we think yes.
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 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.
Our workshirts are 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.
"I really love Gustin. I just don't think I'd choose another brand at any price point. And I love watching for new products/return of old favs. But a very important part of the experience is the great customer service."

"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."
