Men's Cotton Work Shirt
How to spot the original Work
Two flap chest pockets: the left flap has a curved, wave-shaped edge, while the right one closes with a button and carries the small embroidered mountain just below it.
Contrast dark buttons run down the placket and close the cuffs, so you can roll the sleeves up neatly on a warm afternoon and button them again when it cools.
The hem is curved and longer at the back than at the front, so the shirt stays tucked in when you bend and looks tidy worn loose over jeans.
The fabric
Soft, washed cotton
Cotton breathes, so you stay comfortable indoors and out.
The washed finish makes it soft straight away, with no stiff break-in period.
It is a sturdy weave that stands up to everyday wear.
The colour has a gentle, lived-in tone that looks better with time.
It is easy to wash and quick to dry.
Cotton is kind to the skin, even on long days.
It is a shirt that copes with real life: muddy walks, DIY weekends and long days out.
The details
Pockets, embroidery, curved hem
Two chest pockets give it a proper utility feel.
A small mountain embroidery adds a quiet outdoor note.
The curved hem is longer at the back, so it stays tucked when you bend.
Buttoned cuffs can be rolled up when the sun comes out.
The chest runs from 124 cm on the M to 132 cm on the XL, roomy enough for a T-shirt underneath.
The length runs from 75 to 79 cm, covering the waistband nicely.
These small touches are what make it feel well made rather than ordinary.
The colours
Four easy shades
Navy is smart and easy with jeans and chinos.
Black is sleek and modern.
Army green has a classic outdoor feel.
Apricot is a soft, warm neutral, lovely with dark denim.

From Maria & Denis
This men's cotton work shirt takes the hard-wearing look of classic workwear and makes it easy to wear every day.
It is made from washed cotton, which feels soft from the first wear and has a slightly faded, lived-in look.
Two chest pockets, one with a flap, are big enough for a phone, a notebook or your glasses.
A small mountain embroidery on the pocket adds a subtle outdoor touch without shouting about it.
The fit is loose and relaxed, with a curved hem that looks good worn out over jeans or chinos.
Wear it buttoned up as a shirt, or open over a T-shirt like a light overshirt on milder days.
It is the shirt you grab for a walk in the hills, a trip to the hardware shop or a pint with friends.
Workwear shirts are popular for good reason: they are tough, practical and look good on everyone. This one keeps the useful details, the pockets and the sturdy cotton, and adds a softer, washed finish so it feels like an old favourite from the first day.
Navy, black, army green or apricot, in sizes M to XL.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this shirt?
It comes in sizes M to 2XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the shirt itself, taken flat: chest, length, shoulder and sleeve. Measure a similar shirt you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this shirt?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, buttons undone. Hang to dry. Iron on a medium setting if needed. Always check the care label inside before the first wash, and dry it away from direct heat such as a radiator.
What is this shirt made of?
It is made from cotton shirt. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, so it is comfortable all day.
How do I iron this shirt?
Iron it while it is still slightly damp, on a medium-hot setting: collar first, then cuffs, sleeves and finally the body. A handheld steamer also works: hang the shirt up and steam it from top to bottom.
How do I wear this shirt?
Tucked into chinos or tailored trousers with loafers for a smart look, or untucked over a T-shirt with jeans and trainers at the weekend. Rolled sleeves and an open collar keep it relaxed.
Will this shirt shrink in the wash?
Cotton can shrink a little if it is washed hot or tumble dried. Wash it at 30°C and hang it to dry, as the care guide on this page says, and it will keep its size. Washing inside out also keeps the colour fresh for longer.
