The Rite Stuff Bantam Shirt is inspired by the pre-WW2 work shirts that were adapted by workers by cutting the sleeves down for use in warmer weather. It is made from a 75% cotton, 25% linen 5 oz. selvedge chambray that’s milled in Japan. The fabric features a beige weft and has plenty of texture and character and an incredibly soft hand. The Bantam features two acorn-shaped chest pockets with flaps, first seen in the 1920s, and an extra-wide pencil/pen slot on the left pocket. The collar is a period-correct shape and length, based on a 1930s original vintage piece. All principal seams are triple-stitched for durability, and the gusseted sides prevent tearing.
