Originating in the 1500s, Chambray fabric became popular in American workwear in the 1900s due to its breathability while still being extremely durable. Often mistaken for denim, the fabric is crafted by weaving together a mixture of both colored and white threads to create a textured appearance that is both stylish and relaxed. The vintage uniforms of American workwear that inspired us were often accompanied by Felt accents, either in the form of patches and badges or as protective layers.
