Drake's by A. Levine Check Brushed Cotton Two-Pocket Work Shirt

A limited-edition work shirt made with the American retailer Aaron Levine, cut on Drake's casual block from a lightly brushed cotton check. It takes the plain two-pocket shirt of the workshop and adds finer details: a long point collar, fisheye corozo buttons and single-needle seams. It is made in Italy and can be worn open over a T-shirt or under a sport coat.

Canclini Brown and Burgundy Glen Check Beacon Flannel

We chose a brushed cotton flannel from an Italian mill in brown and burgundy, the closest Proper Cloth offered to the warm, earthy check of the original. We kept the two chest pockets, the one-button cuffs, the front placket, the curved hem and the natural corozo buttons. Proper Cloth's pocket options led us to rounded flap pockets rather than plain open patches. Its point collar is softer and shorter than Drake's long point.

A 100% cotton flannel woven by Canclini in 2-ply 50s yarns and brushed to a soft, smooth nap. It is a heavier cloth that still drapes easily, closer to dress shirting than to rough workwear flannel. The glen check is worked in subdued brown and burgundy tones.
