I'm looking for a chambray button-down shirt. Should be able to dress it up with chinos or down with jeans.

I did a search and came up with diddly/squat, so what's your favorite chambray button-down?

The Gap if you're poor.* J Crew apparently makes a good one if you want to spend about $100 on a workshirt. The sky's the limit from there. I actually like AA's chambray shirts, but you will probably hvae to try on a few as their sizing is pretty random, it seems.

*If you actually intend to work in them, like manual labor, I believe both carhartt and dickies make chambray shirts for around $25-30 each?

I have two, they're kind of boxy so maybe drop a size.


I also have a Buzz Rickson chambray, it is outstanding but the price is a tad off-putting.

EP's by Epaulet and EG are my favorites that I have.

For more affordable options J Crew is good but still pretty pricey and Lands End Canvas is a great value in a solid chambray for only $40.
