Traditional workwear was designed first and foremost around function. Pockets went where they were useful, sized and shaped around what needed to be carried.

The Sullivan Shirt follows that thinking with two deliberately different chest pockets.

One is finished with a rounded flap and corozo button, the other left open with a carpenter’s pencil slot and reinforced bar tacks.

Cut from a 270gsm brushed cotton salt and pepper weave, the fabric combines light and dark yarns to give depth and texture. A garment wash ensures the cloth is soft from the first wear.

The construction is equally purposeful. Heavy topstitch thread runs throughout, with triple-needle stitching reinforcing the shoulders, armholes and side seams, and twin-needle stitching through the collar, yoke and laid-on placket.

Shaped elbow patches add further reinforcement, while a box pleat at the back allows easy movement. Finished with a hangloop, buttoned collar detail, curved cuffs and branded corozo buttons.

This is a workshirt that wears its origins on its sleeve.
