The men's denim shirt, in nine ounces

The workshirt was born in the early 20th century in the United States as the work shirt of labourers and farmers: it protects from sun, dust and tools without restricting the arms. Our men's denim shirt brings back its cloth, a 100% cotton 9 oz denim, where an ordinary denim shirt settles for about 5 oz. At this weight the collar stays straight, the shoulders hold, and the cloth takes real use rather than decorative use.

Cut and sizing

Straight cut. From S to XXL, half chest runs from 53 to 61 cm (20.9 to 24 in), length from 70 to 74 cm (27.6 to 29.1 in) and sleeve from 63 to 66 cm (24.8 to 26 in). Take your usual size to wear it buttoned, or one size up if you want it as an overshirt. The size guide helps you decide.

How to wear a men's denim shirt

Sleeves rolled up, with a navy watch cap, as in our photos. Buttoned over selvedge jeans, or open over an ecru henley. Under a work jacket: two blues, never the same tone.

Care
  • Wash it as rarely as possible.
  • When needed: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately from light laundry the first few times, because indigo bleeds.
  • No tumble dryer: air dry in the shade.
  • The patina will keep changing slowly, at the elbows and cuffs.

Shirt or overshirt, depending on the day

The density of the cloth gives it two uses. Buttoned, it is a shirt, worn over a T-shirt with the collar open. Open, it becomes a light overshirt, which a light denim cannot do. Worn over raw jeans, it plays on two blues of different depth.

The patina is created before sale: the shirt is washed and then stonewashed, which means washed with pumice stones that lighten the colour in patches, as on a shirt worn for years. This treatment also breaks the stiffness of new denim, so you can wear it from day one.

Patine et durabilité

In three years, this workshirt will have the elbows of your habits.

An ordinary denim shirt weighs about 5 oz and hangs limp. This one weighs 9 oz, like the American work shirts of the early 20th century: the collar stays straight, the shoulders hold. Stonewashed, it wears without a break-in. Here is what it becomes with time.

  1. Le denim en 100% cotton, toile ferme, la teinte indigo au plus dense. Rien n’a encore marqué.

  2. col, poignets et coudes cèdent d’abord : le denim commence à suivre vos gestes.

  3. Les plis de mouvement se fixent. Ce sont eux qui dessineront les contrastes.

  4. Lavage à 30 °C, sur l’envers, sans sèche-linge.

  5. Arêtes, poches et bords pâlissent : le indigo s’éclaircit aux arêtes et aux plis, sans jamais pâlir d’un bloc, et le fil du tissage se devine.

  6. Les zones de pli se contrastent nettement. Des marques qui n’appartiennent qu’à vous.

  7. Clair aux points d’usure, dense là où la toile est protégée : le contraste est installé.

  8. Un accroc, une couture ouverte : l’atelier de Toulouse reprend, le denim continue.

  9. Personne d’autre n’aura ces marques. Une friperie vend la vie des autres ; celle-ci est la vôtre.

Buttoned, it is a shirt. Open over a T-shirt, it is an overshirt. You buy two pieces for the price of one, in a cloth that really has what it takes to last. It is the garment you grab every morning without thinking.

A work shirt collar and cuffs

The collar stand is built with a double yoke in the American way, so the collar keeps its shape. The cuffs are rounded, with a gauntlet placket at the sleeve, and a reinforcing gusset strengthens the bottom of the sides. Under the collar, the woven Champ de Manoeuvres Heritage label.

Pockets, mother-of-pearl and stitching

The two chest pockets are double-stitched. They close, like the shirt, with four-hole mother-of-pearl buttons, sewn crosswise to last. All the stitching is tight, at 8 stitches per centimetre, in midnight blue Coats thread. The shirt is made in Morocco.

FAQ

We are here to help you

Find here the answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you choose with confidence.

Contact us?
What is the quality of Champ de Manœuvres products?

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.

Every piece is designed to last, evolve and patinate over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we imagine our own weaves, then have them woven in the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. This process can take up to a year to produce a new cloth.

It is this level of exacting standards that sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
