JAMES COWARDTravail Shirt - Clay Satin Drum Cotton

The Travail Shirt is a relaxed workwear-inspired silhouette elevated through thoughtful fabric development and refined construction. This version is cut from a Japanese cotton back satin woven with air-spun yarns of varying thread counts, creating a fabric that balances durability with texture. The satin face offers a dense, hardwearing surface, while the reverse retains an irregular, slubby character and an airy feel. A subsequent drum-dyeing process gives each garment subtle variations and depth, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Designed as an easy everyday layer, the shirt features a convertible collar, a clean pointed chest pocket, and a relaxed shape that moves comfortably between shirt and lightweight overshirt. Rear knife pleats and a two-piece sleeve construction provide structure and ease without compromising its laid-back feel. - Air-spun yarn - Dense satin face with slubby reverse texture - Drum-dyed - 100% cotton - Convertible collar - Pointed chest pocket - Rear yoke with knife pleats at each shoulder - Two-piece sleeves with pleated cuffs - Dyed corozo buttons - Relaxed fit - Made in Vancouver
