#190 Japan Rustic Wool Workshirt - Charcoal

Note: Wool can feel more fitted than denim workshirts. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Japan is creating some of our favorite wools and today is no exception. Picture wool of the highest quality and this style is what we imagine - heavy, dense, pliable, fibrous. Rustic appeal and superb warmth. The moment you touch these workshirts, you feel the quality of this wool. The colors are just as stunning. Rich and earthy with a nice heather effect. This one gives our best denim workshirts a true run for their money.

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 a triple needle 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 still 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 will be available in our Classic and Slim fits.
