Brief insight based on feedback
Chambray shirts are often hit or miss because:
1
The fabric doesn't hold up.
2
The fit is off.
3
Collars give up too soon.
4
They're prone to wrinkling in no time.

The Big Reveal
We don’t just have one shirt, but two for your perusal. The Button-Down and the Army are here, each with their own vibe. Here’s the lowdown to help you pick a side.
Collar Commentary
The Button-Down's got a neat buttoned collar, surprise surprise, a nod to American casual chic. While the Army cut goes bold with a generous French collar. No collar buttons, just sleek lines and attitude.
Pocket in stock
These Chambray siblings diverge however when it comes to pockets. The Button-Down keeps it simple with one chest pocket, whereas the Army doubles down with two gusset pockets, nodding to military vibes and the M43 US Army model.
Cut to the Chase
Fit-wise, the Button-Down's snug and smart, ready to layer up or tuck in. The Army cut is all about ease and space though with its straight, back-pleated comfort fit.
One Fabric, Two Legends
Both of our shirts are made out of the same chambray fabric. It’s a French original, woven in the middle of the Vosges mountains by the skilled hands at Telatex. This fabric's got history, quality, and packs plenty of character all that with 100% organic cotton.
The kindest button to button
Buttons made of Plastic? Not on our watch. Ours are made from casein, a naturally milk protein. They're light, tough, and eco-friendly.
Care Factor
Easy as, whichever you choose. A 30°C wash does the trick, just skip the tumble dryer and dry them in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
Portuguese Perfection
FSM in Portugal expertly put these two Chambray hard nuts together. After spinning and weaving the yarn in France and dyeing it in Italy, it's a short trip to finish to make up these euro-citizens.
Decision Time
Now you're up to speed. But, here's the rub: the toughest bit's still to come. Choosing between a classic-inspired Chambray shirt and one with a military twist. Lucky for you, there's no wrong pick here. Whether you go for the sleek or the casual, minimalist or bold, you've got top-notch French fabric backing you up. Different shirts, same great quality.
