This shirt takes inspiration from US Army officer's utility shirts from the late 1950s. UG has improved the fitting and used better materials to give it a high-end look!
This specially developed 14oz selvage herringbone twill is slowly woven using a re-constructed vintage denim machine. This results in some very unique uneven textures and a smooth touch after soaking or washing. The black colour's weft and warp are sulphur thread-dyed. With wear and wash, the colour will age to a 'Black-And-White' high-contrasted look.
Originally, the vintage officer utility shirt used only lightweight material, however, we wanted to create a jacketed shirt with a heavyweight material so we asked the best of the best Japanese craftsman to use Jacket-Standard-Construction to finish this jacketed shirt! The iron buttons that we use to construct this jacket are the same we use for our denim jackets, the flaps of pockets are lined with Japanese lightweight herringbone twill and the heavyweight chain-stitching for the body construction ensures this shirt will last over decades of wear.
