Mens Shirts | orSlow Chambray Work Shirt White

Description

Is there a more humble piece of clothing than the chambray shirt? Well before becoming a staple in every office “fashion” guy’s Friday rotation, the chambray shirt was utilised by labour forces through the decades. So commonplace and reliable were the shirts that they became the archetype for the working class. The “blue collar” worker? Their collar is made of sweat-stained chambray. Nowadays you’ll be wearing fluoro orange but that doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as nicely…Orslow pay homage to this historical context with an authentic, utilitarian re-imagination of the work shirt. The cut is relaxed so you aren’t restricted by clingy fabric. The hem is straight so you don’t need to tuck it in. The spread collar stays out of the way and the two patch pockets can carry all of your essentials.The irony of making a literal white-collar version of the quintessential blue collar garment is not lost here. We’re pretty sure this isn’t a commentary on the ruling class’s exploitation of workers, but if it is then props to the Orslow team. It’s more likely they thought “this would be nice in white as well” and then made it, but you can make up your own mind. Vive la révolution!
