It is cut in a classic work-shirt fit, with moderate room through the chest and shoulders without being excessively slim or loose. The body falls relatively straight from the chest toward the hem, while the rounded shirttail hem provides traditional coverage and allows the shirt to sit naturally when worn either tucked or untucked. The lightweight cotton chambray fabric and long-sleeve construction make it suitable for wearing on its own, over a T-shirt, or beneath a jacket. Because fit may vary depending on body type and personal preference, please use the actual garment measurements below as your primary reference.

Overall Product Character: - This men's long-sleeve work shirt is made in Japan by Sugar Cane, a workwear-focused label from Toyo Enterprises specializing in vintage-inspired American workwear. The design is based on the construction and practical character of classic American work shirts, combining a full button front, two functional chest pockets, reinforced seams, long set-in sleeves, and lightweight cotton chambray fabric. The red chambray gives the shirt a different visual character from a conventional blue chambray work shirt while retaining the straightforward, utility-oriented appearance associated with traditional workwear. Its balanced proportions and lightweight construction also make it suitable for regular use in a contemporary casual wardrobe. Fabric Material: - The shirt is constructed from lightweight 100% cotton chambray. Chambray is a plain-weave fabric traditionally used for American work shirts and is valued for its breathability, ease of movement, and lightly textured surface. Compared with heavier twill or denim fabrics, this chambray has a lighter and more breathable feel while retaining enough body to prevent the shirt from appearing overly thin or flimsy. The cotton fabric combines moderate crispness with natural flexibility, providing a lightly structured appearance without restricting everyday movement. Red Chambray Weave and Yarn Character: - The red chambray fabric is woven with red-dyed warp yarns and natural-colored weft yarns. This combination produces a mixed surface tone rather than the flat appearance of a uniformly dyed solid-red fabric. The natural-colored weft yarns show subtly through the red warp yarns, creating a softly mottled appearance with visual depth, fine color variation, and a slightly irregular character. This interaction between the differently colored yarns is a defining characteristic of chambray and gives the fabric a more natural and dimensional appearance. Surface Texture and Hand Feel: - The fabric surface shows slight irregularity, natural creasing, and a dry hand that reflect the character of the cotton yarns. It does not have an excessively smooth or mechanically uniform appearance. Instead, the fabric displays modest variations in texture and color that complement the vintage-inspired work-shirt design. Although lightweight, the fabric retains moderate firmness and body, along with the natural flexibility and comfortable hand associated with cotton chambray. One-Wash Finish: - The completed garment has been pre-washed, commonly referred to as a one-wash finish. This treatment helps reduce the initial stiffness of the fabric, gives the cotton chambray a more settled hand, and helps limit major shrinkage after purchase. Because the garment has already been washed during production, the fabric has a more natural drape and a less rigid feel than an unwashed shirt. Minor dimensional changes may still occur with repeated washing, depending on water temperature, washing method, and drying conditions. Fit and Sizing Character: - The shirt is cut in a classic work-shirt fit with moderate room through the chest and body. The silhouette is neither excessively slim nor overly loose, and the body falls relatively straight from the chest toward the hem. The proportions allow the shirt to be worn on its own, over a T-shirt, or beneath a jacket without creating an excessively bulky shape. The lightweight and breathable chambray fabric supports comfortable wear through spring and fall, while the long sleeves may also be rolled up during warmer conditions. This item generally fits close to standard U.S./EU sizing, but the actual garment measurements should be used as the primary reference because fit may vary according to body type and personal preference. Collar Construction: - The neckline is finished with a standard point collar attached to a separate collar stand. The collar stand supports the base of the collar, adding structure and stability around the neckline while helping the collar maintain its shape during wear. This two-piece construction gives the shirt a more structured appearance than an open-collar or camp-collar design and reflects the conventional construction of a classic button-front work shirt. Front Placket and Button Closure: - The shirt uses a full button-front closure for easy dressing and adjustment. The center front is constructed with a six-button placket, and the buttonholes are positioned vertically. The spacing between the collar button and the second button is slightly narrower than the spacing between the remaining front buttons. This arrangement helps prevent the neckline from opening too widely when only the top button is left undone. The placket also provides additional structure along the center front, where repeated buttoning and unbuttoning place stress on the fabric. Buttons: - Cat's-eye resin buttons are used throughout the shirt. This traditional workwear-style button is identified by its recessed center groove, which protects and guides the attachment thread while adding a subtle period-inspired appearance. The simple shape and practical resin construction complement the functional character of the garment without introducing unnecessary decoration. Sleeve Construction: - The shirt features long set-in sleeves. Each sleeve is shaped with a sleeve cap and sewn into the armhole along the shoulder and upper body. This construction creates a defined shoulder seam and a conventional shirt profile, in contrast to raglan or one-piece sleeve constructions. The set-in sleeve design provides a structured shoulder line while allowing the sleeves to follow the natural position of the arms. Cuff and Sleeve Placket Construction: - Each sleeve is finished with a single-button cuff. The outer corner of the cuff has a rounded profile, and the cuff buttonhole is positioned horizontally. A separate sleeve placket is incorporated into the cuff opening to provide additional room when putting on or removing the shirt and to allow the cuff to open fully. The base of the sleeve placket is reinforced with bartack stitching, strengthening an area that is repeatedly subjected to pulling and movement during wear. Chest Pocket Design: - Two button-flap patch pockets are applied directly to the front body. Each pocket is constructed with rounded lower corners, which soften the outline while retaining the practical appearance of a traditional work-shirt pocket. The separate flaps close with buttons to help secure small items and give the chest area a balanced, structured appearance. Pen Slot Detail: - The left chest pocket flap includes a buttonhole-style pen slot. This opening allows a pen or similarly shaped small item to be inserted without requiring the entire pocket flap to be opened. The detail reflects the utility-oriented construction of traditional work shirts, in which chest pockets were designed to carry writing instruments and small work-related tools. Pocket Reinforcement: - The upper corners of both chest pockets are reinforced with bartacks. Bartacking uses a dense concentration of stitches to strengthen areas that are likely to receive repeated pulling or stress. On patch pockets, the upper corners are particularly vulnerable when items are inserted or removed, so this reinforcement helps improve durability and maintain the stability of the pocket attachment. Back Yoke Construction: - The upper back is divided by a subtly curved shoulder yoke panel. The yoke is constructed with two layers of fabric, adding strength and dimensional stability across the shoulders and upper back. This area receives frequent movement during arm and shoulder motion, and the layered construction helps distribute stress while maintaining the shape of the upper body. Hem Shape: - The hem is finished with a traditional rounded shirttail profile. The front and back sections extend lower at the center and curve gradually upward toward the side seams. This shape provides additional coverage when the shirt is worn untucked and helps the longer front and back sections remain inside the waistband when the shirt is tucked in. Unlike a straight square-cut hem, the rounded construction gives the garment the conventional lower-body profile associated with classic work shirts and casual button-up shirts. Triple-Needle Stitching: - High-stress areas, including the shoulders, armholes, and side seams, are sewn with triple-needle stitching. This construction uses three parallel rows of stitches to reinforce seams that are repeatedly subjected to movement, pulling, and laundering. In addition to improving seam stability, the three visible stitch lines create the strong, clearly defined seam appearance commonly associated with traditional American workwear. Contrast Stitching: - Natural-colored stitching is used throughout the shirt. The lighter thread contrasts with the red chambray fabric and clearly outlines the pockets, front placket, back yoke, sleeves, cuffs, and major seam lines. The contrast is functional as well as visual, emphasizing the garment's construction and reinforcing its classic workwear character without relying on decorative embroidery or applied graphics. Styling and Wearability: - The lightweight red chambray fabric, long-sleeve construction, functional chest pockets, and reinforced workwear seams allow the shirt to be worn in several practical ways. It can be worn as a standalone button-up shirt, left open over a T-shirt, or layered beneath a jacket. The red chambray provides more visible color variation than conventional blue chambray, while the overall design remains straightforward and easy to coordinate with denim, chinos, fatigue pants, and other casual garments.
