This shirt is built around a lighter 9oz denim that has been heavily worked to achieve a dry, worn-in texture from the outset. The fabric carries a faded, slightly rough character that gives it the feel of a well-used piece, making it easy to wear day to day.
The stand collar shifts the profile away from traditional work shirts, giving it a cleaner, more stripped-back look. Classic details like flap chest pockets and triple-needle construction keep it grounded in workwear, while the overall silhouette remains straightforward and balanced. A piece that sits comfortably within RATS’ approach to Japanese workwear, where familiar references are refined through fabric and finish.
