PAYDAY
A brand that started in the 1920s, focusing on workwear. Its iconic coveralls and engineer jackets are loved not only by fans of vintage American workwear but also have a solid following in modern fashion.







Vintage character deepens over time
Made from chambray fabric with just the right thickness, this shirt softens the more you wear it. With every wash, the texture improves, adding even more character.



As the color gradually fades, it develops a distinct vintage look, giving it a rich, aged feel that only improves with time.





Meticulously crafted vintage details
This design faithfully replicates the chambray work shirts of the early 1940s.



The collar features a chin strap, affectionately known as Y-shaped collar, which adds a classic touch to the design.



Both chest pockets are large with a pen slot on the left flap, adding to the practicality of the shirt.



Other vintage-inspired details include urea buttons engraved with a diamond pattern, double-stitched seams under the arms, gussets at the hem, and a union ticket sewn inside the placket, enhancing the vintage appeal.



These faithfully recreated details capture the spirit of the time, making this a piece steeped in history.





A modern silhouette with versatile styling
While the original design featured a longer length for tucking in, this version has been adjusted for balance, allowing it to be worn untucked while maintaining a modern silhouette. The relaxed fit offers comfort and ease of movement.



This piece makes it easy to enjoy the vintage aesthetic with a simple throw-on-and-go style. It pairs perfectly with denim or chinos and can adapt to both casual and smart-casual outfits. A versatile piece for any wardrobe, sure to be a long-lasting favorite.
