Workwear-influenced pieces pressed and styled cleanly — chore coats in natural canvas, straight trousers, heavy cotton tees. Utility that never looks like it came from a worksite, and never needed to prove it did.

Field Press: Workwear-Inspired Chore Coats, Trousers and Tees
The best men's workwear basics bring utility into a cleaner everyday wardrobe, from natural canvas layers to straight trousers and heavy cotton tees. I would start with J.McLaughlin's Madison Pants, a French blue linen shirt, a navy Callahan Polo, or the Aston linen safari jacket, then let the simple shapes do the work. I went deeper on a related idea in Barn Jacket Edit: Chore Coats, Waxed Cotton and Quilted Layers. I went deeper on a related idea in Sustainable Basics: Tees, Leggings and Trousers That Hold Up.
