Our first workshirt ever was a Hickory Stripe from Japan, but going all-American was a must. After many years, the American Hickory Stripe is back. It remains our best workshirt value ever. 
This style uses sanforized raw twill from one of the finest mills in the USA. If you're into old-world, iconic workwear fabric this is a superb example. The pattern is an indigo-on-natural vertical hickory stripe. It takes you right back to the days of vintage trains. This one has a slightly wider indigo stripe as compared to the natural stripe which gives it a slightly bluer shade overall. The indigo stripe is a vibrant, pure blue. At 11 ounces this one is extra beefy, nicely starched and left raw for you to break in. 100% all-American workwear and a great value.
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 #15 USA HICKORY STRIPE WORKSHIRT
"Great great cloth, thick and substantial. The fit is close, meaning right on the measurements. Reminds me if the sanforized work shirts growing up bailing hay. In other words...excellent"
-Todd H. | Verified Buyer
"Great fabric, great fit"
-Kyle G. | Verified Buyer
"Everything about this shirt works: the weight, the heritage style, and especially the Hickory stripe pattern. I love wearing it to work, and the large slim is a terrific cut for my body type. The shirt gets a lot of compliments, and it looks perfect with a matching hickory stripe engineer’s hat! I would recommend this shirt for anyone who appreciates heritage work wear or for someone who just wants to look cool. 😎"
-Jeff C. | Verified Buyer
"Great quality, everything it was advertised as. Only issue, is if you have any girth to you forearms, the lower sleeves are tight. Like really tight."
-Arik D. | Verified Buyer
