As we begin to settle into early fall, Sugar Cane is making it oh-so easy with their Patchwork Check Workshirt. If you want the rugged aesthetic of a wool flannel shirt but don’t want a torso sauna during the mild early days of the season, this cotton equivalent is the bonding agent your wardrobe needs.

With a double-weave construction instead of a classic sewed check, you get this cozy wool tweed situation that we just don’t see enough in shirting. And then there is the patchwork itself which is just a refreshing variation on textbook plaid. Plus the color combo isn’t conventional by any means, leaning towards sith lord, but in a way you can easily blend into a jean, khaki, or fatigue combo. Finished off with two button closure chest pockets, this made-in-Japan shirt can season hop like no other so while you get the wears in now, look forward to a winter full of cozy layering.

Available for $218 from Blue In Green
