Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This shirt is cut in a regular, boxy fit to encourage airflow and provide a comfortable drape
• Here at the store we recommend choosing your usual size for the intended relaxed silhouette
• The 100% cotton weave provides a soft, non-stretch handle that remains comfortable against the skin all day
• The flat hem is designed to be worn untucked, sitting perfectly at the hip for a contemporary profile

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle to protect the hand-stitched embroidery

• Do not tumble dry; air drying on a hanger is recommended to maintain the garment's shape
• Use a cool iron on the reverse side to avoid direct heat contact with the embroidery threads

Our Universal Works Road Shirt FAQs

1. Is the embroidery itchy on the inside?
   Not at all; the hand-stitching is finished with care to ensure a smooth feel against the skin.

2. How does the Road Shirt fit compared to other Universal Works shirts?
   It is one of the brand's most relaxed fits, offering more room through the chest and waist than a standard slim-fit button-down.

3. Will the embroidery threads come loose?
   While hand-embroidery is delicate, it is securely fastened; however, we recommend avoiding abrasive surfaces to keep the detailing sharp.

4. Is the cotton fabric see-through?
   No, the striped cotton weave is dense enough to provide full coverage while remaining breathable and light.
