To Laze & Labor: Leisurely Work Shirts

Those childhood summers spent building forts or model airplanes have been replaced by a different kind of industriousness: tinkering under the hood of a car, maybe, or building an outdoor movie theater from a shower curtain. Whatever the case, the warmer weather brings out the aspiring workman in me, even if I’ll probably end up working the remote control (or cracking a beer can open). For a summer that’s either lazy or laborious, a leisurely work shirt should come in handy. Patrik Ervell’s chambray shirt has a pocket you can slip a paperback or wrench into. Lucio Castro’s denim shirt is tough but light. And Dana Lee’s Castaway shirt is a shirt you’ll want to live in through sweaty days and windy nights.
