The Short Sleeve Mechanic Shirt in Khaki Ripstop

About this find

This short sleeve mechanic shirt is cut from 8.5-oz. 100% organic cotton ripstop, a woven fabric known for its crosshatch pattern. It is pigment dyed and stone washed, which gives the khaki color a soft, lived-in look and feel. The straight hem keeps the shape simple and easy to wear untucked or tucked in, depending on your mood.

Two patch pockets sit on the chest, and each one closes with a button-through flap. That gives you a secure place for small items like keys or a lip balm. The left pocket also has a pen sleeve, so a pen has its own spot and does not slide around loose with everything else.

The seams use double-needle felled construction, a flat, enclosed stitch that leaves a tidy finish on both the inside and outside of the shirt. It is the kind of detail you notice when you turn the shirt inside out. Wear it buttoned up on its own, or leave it open as a light layer. Try it open over a plain white tee with straight-leg jeans.

The workwear styling comes through in the patch pockets, the flaps and the muted khaki shade, which pairs naturally with denim, white and darker neutrals. Care is simple. Wash cold and tumble dry low. This shirt is made in Vietnam. It is a practical short sleeve option for anyone who likes chest pockets that are actually useful.
