Description

In the annals of workwear, few pieces have been worn through the ranks like the chambray. For over a century it's been standard issue: on US Navy battleships and submarines, railroads, oil rigs, factories, farms, and ranches. You name it, its simple construction and durable weave have made it one of the most wearable garments you'll ever own. With that said: where do you take it from here? There are chambray fabrics, and then there is our selvedge chambray: indigo rope-dyed, and woven in Okayama, Japan. You would be hard-pressed to find a finer, heavier weight chambray. The substantial, crisp hand-feel promises years of hard wear while developing all sorts of character that only comes from such a premium Japanese textile. Each shirt is cut and sewn in Portugal, home to some of the finest European shirtmakers, legendary for their precision tailoring. The true selvege edges, visible on the inside cuffs and side seam gussets—are woven on traditional shuttle looms creating a fabric with exceptional integrity and longevity. The forearms are strengthened with our trademark "cuff-to-elbow-tuff" reinforcements. This is a chambray built to outlast trends, seasons, and years of hard work. It represents the kind of genuine economy that comes from buying once and wearing often, developing into something all its own through wear. Also available in tan
