Iron Heart's short-sleeved work shirt, made from 5oz selvedge hickory stripe Oxford cloth. An iconic American workwear fabric, the origins of hickory stripe date back to the “Old West” era, with the indigo striped pattern designed to disguise oil stains on railroad worker’s uniforms. This 5oz selvedge plain weave cloth offers an authentic hickory stripe appearance while creating a lightweight, highly breathable summer shirt. Shuttle woven with a rope-dyed warp yarn, expect the indigo stripes to fade and mellow with vintage character.
