Roughing
It

The American working man—dirt under his nails and a beer in his hand—has long been neglected by the Euro-focused fashion pack. But a resurgence is underway (paved by the popularity of Filson bags, Red Wing boots and Japanese companies like Workers), and those classic workwear pieces have worked their way into the collections of Number (N)ine, Bottega Veneta and Michael Bastian. This tab-collar chambray work shirt mixes a vintage-influenced design with a modern, tailored fit. No hard-hat needed. $98, at J.Crew.
