Bringing a workwear twist to a classic summer design is Full Count and their Ink-Cake Dye Open Collar Shirt. Made in Japan from a lightweight linen, this timeless design owes its striking charcoal complexion to a 40/1 ink cake dye process, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique used for generations that ensures the color won’t go anywhere.

Featuring an open collar with marquee loop, single chest pocket and a relaxed fit with straight hem, it checks every box for the essential summer shirt. However, it goes above and beyond with cat-eye buttons and the fabric itself which resembles worn-down salt and pepper covert cloth, a fabric popular for American utilitarian clothing from the early 1900s up into the 1950s. That of course translates into added functionality as well. Not only can you effortlessly take on the look of a 50s greaser or modern-day cool guy, this made in Japan shirt will also never quit on you – so go ahead, wear it a few days in a row and break it in – wrinkles, creases and all.
