This cotton chore shirt got its start in France many years ago and has faded through use, giving it a deep, uneven blue herringbone. Seams and edges are lighter where it’s been worn in most.

It has a straightforward, functional shape with enough room to layer underneath. Finished with practical patch pockets for Sunday hobbies and simple black buttons, its a dependable piece of workwear that’s already done some living, and is better for it.
