It differs from denim by its plain weave: an indigo-dyed warp thread crossed with a light weft, made to resist and breathe in hot environments. This men's chambray shirt takes up the construction of the naval shirts of the 1940s and 1950s: two chest pockets, a classic collar, a double-thickness button placket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% cotton chambray, 8 oz, indigo warp, ecru weft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: chain-stitched yoke and swallowtail vents, after the US Navy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButtons: four-hole cat's-eye, tone-on-tone navy blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: double-thickness button placket, white topstitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: pre-washed, made in Morocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn 8 oz chambray with a slub surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is a 100% cotton \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chambray\"\u003echambray\u003c\/a\u003e, 8 oz. At this weight, the cloth gains density: it limits creasing and holds the silhouette all day, without stiffness. Its surface is slubbed and slightly irregular, and the indigo, carried by the warp thread, evolves with washing to create a patina specific to each wearer. The shirt is pre-washed, to stabilise its dimensions and soften the material a little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCat's-eye buttons\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buttons are four-hole cat's-eye type, navy blue, tone on tone. The button placket is made in double thickness, with white topstitching that stands out against the indigo. These are military shirt details, chosen to withstand repeated buttoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChain-stitched yoke, swallowtail vents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front is assembled with a chain-stitch yoke, supple, as on US Navy shirts. On the sides, swallowtail vents set on an off-the-arm machine follow the movement. The cut, though, is contemporary: sharp shoulders, controlled length, no excess volume at the back or on the sides. The shirt is made in Morocco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted cut, with about 6 cm (2.4 in) of ease around the chest. From S to XXL, half chest runs from 51 to 59 cm (20 to 23.2 in), front length from 71 to 77.5 cm (28 to 30.5 in) and sleeve from 63 to 66 cm (24.8 to 26 in); it also comes in XS and 3XL. Take your usual size; if you have broad shoulders, take the size above to avoid any tension on the front. To measure your half chest, run the tape under the armpits and divide by two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear an indigo chambray shirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTucked in or loose, the length allows it.
