Carhartt WIP Bolton Shirt

Constructed from a durable 100% cotton Oxford fabric, the Carhartt WIP Bolton Shirt in Shungite (Garment Dyed) eliminates the stiff, rigid feel of traditional tailored button downs. The specialised garment dyeing process softens the dense weave, yielding an immediate comfortable handle alongside complex tonal variation throughout seams and hems. Designed with a classic button down collar and a curved hem, this versatile piece resolves the challenge of balancing professional structure with casual utility.
