#43 Indigo Linen Chambray Workshirt

We launched our entire workshirt line with an indigo chambray. It's just a perfect partner for this garment. With its roots firmly in the workwear world the look is instantly recognizable and much appreciated. This chambray represents a special version of the style. It starts with the classic indigo-on-white composition and then begins to dial the details way up. The first thing you notice is the slubiness in the white weft. It creates a wonderful tapestry of horizontal grain that gives the shirt huge texture. This grain also brightens up the indigo base. Next comes the composition - 55% linen blended with cotton. This creates a truly different feel. You instantly notice that linen flow. It's breathable and comfortable. The finishing touch is that we're offering our best value yet. Enjoy.

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-needle 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.

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.
