#180 Indigo Pinstripe Chambray Workshirt

Sometimes it's nice to move a classic, like the chambray, in a new direction. If done well, it can be a thing of beauty. This style is a showcase. The start is a nod to the chambray's rugged origins - an 8oz, starchy construction - solid but wearable. Deep indigo dye is the only fitting treatment to honor the historical roots of the style. Wear it well and it will improve in time, becoming unique to you. To transform the style into something totally fresh, a jacquard weave is used to create a contrasting pinstripe woven directly into the fabric. It lends a touch of formality to the style that we love. This is an icon taken in a new direction. The value makes it even sweeter.

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. Finally, we love the chin strap. Ours is small enough to be tasteful while reminding you of the workwear roots of the garment. We created new custom Corozo buttons specifically for our work shirts. 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.
