Engineer Shirt - 12oz. Indigo Sashiko
Engineer Shirt - 12oz. Indigo Sashiko
Our brand has always been inspired by early flight aesthetic and the time I spent with my grandpa in his hangar as a kid. A master metal fabricator and airplane mechanic, he was the inspiration for me to work with my hands and create. So when it was time to design a shirt, it was only natural that we would reference the shirts he wore around his shop. They were rugged and functional; everything they needed to be. With this ethos in mind, we designed the Engineer Shirt.
We really can't say enough about this fabric. At 12oz. it's the perfect weight to wear with or without an undershirt. The loose weave of this fabric means it requires no break in period and is comfortable right from the first wear. This fabric is also going to be a patina monster with minimal time to get it faded in. Because of this, be careful around light fabrics and surfaces until you've washed it several times. Double flap chest pockets with inverted box pleats expand so you can carry what you need, but lay flat when not full. Aged copper snaps secure the front, pockets, and cuffs.
As with most of our products, we've kept the fit in the "Goldilocks zone" that we love so much: tailored, but leaving enough room to move. The hem hits right at hip level so you can tuck it in or leave it out. Shop owner Daniel (pictured) is 5'11" 190lbs and is wearing a size large.
