The Buzz Rickson’s Chambray Work Shirt is a meticulously crafted reproduction of the U.S. Navy and Army chambray shirts worn from the 1930s through the 1950s. Made from lightweight yet durable selvedge chambray fabric, this shirt features period-correct details such as side gussets, a structured collar with a neckband, and a traditional front placket, staying true to the construction of the era.
Built for durability, it boasts double chain-stitched construction for extra strength and sturdy metal buttons, just like the original military-issued versions. Over time, the pale blue chambray fabric softens and fades beautifully, developing a unique patina with repeated wear and washing—just like vintage denim.
Designed for both durability and comfort, this versatile work shirt pairs effortlessly with jeans, chinos, or layered under a vest, making it a timeless wardrobe staple. With its authentic WWII-inspired design and superior craftsmanship, theBuzz Rickson’s Chambray Work Shirt is an essential piece for heritage workwear enthusiasts and vintage collectors alike.
Fit Notes: Buzz Rickson's tops tend to run slightly small compared to American sizing, so we usually recommend sizing up. If you typically wear a size M in American brands, a size 16 (L) in this shirt should be a good fit. However, we always suggest checking our size chart for the best fit.
