Acne Studios’ Spring/Summer 2025 women’s denim collection reimagines everyday domestic elements through innovative design.

The collection features a variety of silhouettes, washes, and textures, blending traditional denim with avant-garde aesthetics.

Creative Director Jonny Johansson draws inspiration from household motifs – such as curtains and upholstery – to craft pieces that blur the lines between comfort and couture. The collection showcases innovative silhouettes, textured fabrics, and a palette of muted tones, reflecting a harmonious blend of the familiar and the surreal.

Key Denim Pieces

• Acne Studios Broadway Jean SS25: Mid-rise, wide-leg jeans crafted from non-stretch medium blue denim, offering a relaxed fit.
• Acne Studios Wide Leg Jean: High-waisted, wide-leg jeans in deep black overdye with a washed finish, made from rigid organic cotton.

Who Makes the Best Chambray Shirt? After Years of Hunting, We’ve Compiled This List

It’s hard to think of a more natural workwear pairing than denim and chambray. The two fabrics have been boon companions for centuries, and, particularly when the temperatures climb and there’s work to be done or fun to be had, the reasons for this become obvious.

The affinity between the two fabrics runs so deep that indigo-dyed chambrays are often referred to as denim (a mistake). Yes, chambray and denim are both woven using indigo-dyed warp yarns and undyed weft yarns, but the yarns are combined in very different ways.

Over the years, both Thomas and I have added a few chambray shirts to our collections, but there are chambray shirts and then there are chambray shirts.

The heritage brands listed below treat the chambray shirt as a love letter to the past, and the time has finally come for me to bring one of them home. 

“I’ve been preparing for this moment for a while, so here’s my short list of what I believe to be the best indigo chambray work shirts on the market.”

Bryan

If you’re also on the hunt for that perfect indigo chambray, you’ll likely find it on this list. Happy hunting!

Iron Heart Chambray Work Shirt

Always running in the leading pack, Iron Heart’s full-throated take on the workwear classic is, as is typical for the brand, heavier by far than nearly every other shirt on this list. Again, true to Iron Heart form, the shirt fades beautifully if worn regularly in the sun.

A dependable member of the Iron Heart line-up, the chambray is re-stocked regularly. If your size isn’t currently available, sign up to have them email you when the shirt is hot off the presses.

---

Tellason Clampdown Chambray

Telllason’s Clampdown shirt—one of the brand’s most long-lasting and popular shirts—is always a savvy choice. Unfussy and practical as the day is long, the Clampdown can go toe-to-toe with any of the other shirts on this list. 

The chambray, milled in Japan and cut and sewn in San Francisco, will fade to a brilliant dusty blue. Like the other chambrays on this list, you should wash this one regularly to bring out its best.

---

Ginew Mohican Crew Shirt

Tipping the scales at a beefy 10 oz., Ginew’s chambray is heavy enough to wear as an overshirt. If the traditional two-pocket design found on many of the shirts on this list doesn’t exactly do it for you, this simpler, single-pocket design might blow that steam whistle for you. 

Tall gents, take notice! If Japanese sizing puts a ton of great heritage pieces out of reach for you, this American-made shirt might be the one you’ve been looking for. Longer in the body and sleeves than any of the other shirts on this list.

Buzz Rickson’s Chambray Work Shirt

The last time I made a short list like this, I was looking for an N-1 deck jacket. The time before that, I was looking for a peacoat. Both times, I ended up going with Buzz Rickson’s, and, if we’re placing bets, their chambray is the odds on favourite to be the one that I pick.  

A meticulous reproduction of the shirts worn by US Navy and Army servicemen during WWII, featuring blue metal buttons, this chambray is tough enough to storm the beaches and stylish enough for an evening of shore leave. 

---

Rite Stuff Heracles

Rite Stuff founder Bryan Shettig can say without blushing that he knows more about early 20th century work shirts than just about anybody on the planet. His meticulous reproductions of classic shirts from the ‘20s and ‘30s are as close as you can come to the real thing without paying steep collectors’ prices.

Rite Stuff’s popular indigo chambrays disappear from shelves very quickly, but they’re worth waiting for. If your size isn’t available, ask your retailer to notify you when they restock.

---

Real McCoy’s 8HU Chambray Serviceman 

Whenever I’m looking for the best of something, no matter what the category, Real McCoy’s always makes the short list. Their chambray shirt is no exception. The double-layered heart-side pocket (designed to help keep workers’ cigarettes dry) is a brilliant detail.

The design looks backwards, but its construction looks forward. It’ll fade beautifully over time. When you’ve aged and sun-baked this shirt to perfection, you’ll be glad you dug deep for it.

---

Big John Selvedge Chambray

In my books, Big John can do no wrong. They’ve got a long and rich history that stretches back to 1940, when they started producing Japanese workwear. For nearly a century now, they’ve never placed a foot (or a stitch) in the wrong place.

Woven, cut, and sewn in Japan, the Big John Selvedge Chambray features triple-stitched major seams with miles of chain-stitch run-off, and it’s all finished off with shell buttons. A great alternative to some of the more expensive chambrays on this list.

---

Bryceland’s Teardrop Chambray

For our money, this shirt, modelled on a 1950s Lee shirt, is the most stylish chambray on this list. The proportions and the gracefully curved pocket flaps place this shirt in a category of its own. Finished off with mother-of-pearl buttons, this is where luxury and workwear collide head-on.

This level of tailoring and design don’t come cheap, but, for the exacting heritage enthusiast, this is the pinnacle of the category. If you’re hard to fit, this one is also available as a made-to-measure garment (for an added fee, of course). 

---

Anatomica Big Yank 1942 Chambray

Based on a popular wartime working man’s shirt produced in Chicago by workwear legends Reliance Manufacturing, the Big Yank positively drips heritage bona fides. It may be produced in Japan, but it’s as American as apple pie, 

Miles of fabric below the bottom button make this an ideal shirt for those planning to wear their chambray tucked in. The apron is so long that it looks a little strange when worn untucked, so tuck it into a nice high-rise pair of jeans or wool trousers for a truly classic American workwear look. 

Sold out at Clutch Café? One of our all-time favourite retailers, Burg & Schild, also sells the Big Yank.

---

Dehen Drover Chambray

Dehen have been producing world-class knitwear in the Northwestern United States for nearly a century, so they’ve earned the right to riff on the standards in their own signature style. Their take on the classic American work shirt features snaps instead of buttons and a concealed pen pocket.

Best of all is the charm-oozing, sky-blue 7.25 oz. chambray fabric they’ve used. Miles away from ordinary, this fabric draws the eye and hand like nothing else. A shirt that practically demands to be worn until almost no trace of the blue remains.

---

Perfect Pairings

The lightweight chambrays on this list will look great when tucked into higher-rise and generously cut selvedge jeans. Here’s a list of our favourite high-rise pairs.

It also shows the diverse culture of India, where traditions, regions, and people come together in a colorful mix. Just like denim has many shades, textures, and finishes, India’s culture is full of variety too.

A Hub for Denim Innovation and Sustainable Solutions

The exhibition featured over 35 companies from India, Turkey, Italy, and more, showcasing a wide spectrum of products and processes from traditional craftsmanship to innovations in denim, including sustainable denim trends, laser finishing, low-impact dyeing, and circular materials.

Their active engagement reaffirmed the event’s place among major global denim industry gatherings and its growing influence within the Asia-Pacific sourcing calendar.

At the exhibition, Denimsandjeans partnered with the Indenium School of Responsible Design to conduct a live workshop. This session provided attendees with practical insights into sustainable denim practices, bridging academic knowledge and industry applications.

Tommy Girl is back, and she’s bolder than ever! Curated by influencer and designer, Aleali May, the collection reimagines Tommy Hilfiger’s iconic looks through a modern lens.

Btw, did you know that Tommy Girl was originally launched as a fragrance, back in 1996?

Tommy Hilfiger’s Tommy Girl Summer 2025 campaign marks a bold revival of the brand’s iconic ’90s spirit, reimagined for a new generation. The collection blends classic preppy aesthetics with contemporary streetwear influences, celebrating individuality and fearless fashion.

The campaign showcases the new Tommy Girl as a raw, fearless, happening member of the new generation, attired in assertive silhouettes.

The campaign features a diverse lineup of models and influencers, including IVE’s Jang Won-Young, Samara Cyn, Lindsay Vrckovnik, Eniola Abioro, and May herself, each embodying the modern Tommy Girl’s confident and expressive style.

Each piece reflects pure confidence. From star-studded ripped jeans to varsity jackets and rugby shirts, the clothes speak to girls who aren’t afraid to stand out. 

Staying true to Tommy Hilfiger’s signature colors – red, white, and blue – the collection channels a “students-on-vacation” vibe, merging nostalgic elements with contemporary design.

Collection highlights include a varsity jacket in cotton twill paired with a frayed denim mini skirt, while a shrunken tee, bandeau top and dungaree dress nod to throwback silhouettes. Saltwater denim washes from the California coast and satin star badges bring archive energy into sharp focus, while a rugby shirt and trucker jacket echo classic prep, made bolder.

Founded in 2003 by Shinichi Haraki, formerly of Edwin, the brand emphasizes durability, classic styling, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Iron Heart was originally made for bikers. And up until today, that focus guides the design and construction of their clothing. Iron Heart garments are in the main made from heavyweight fabrics, designed to be durable and classic in materials and styling.

Iron Heart is composed of a small skilled team of twenty – all passionate about the brand. Their customers come from all walks of life, and many, but certainly not all, are bikers. The common factor is a love for ethically manufactured, beautiful, durable clothing.

Iron Heart offers denim ranging from 14oz to an impressive 25oz, with their signature 21oz fabric being a standout. This heavyweight denim is known for its durability and unique fading patterns over time.

Motorcycle-Inspired Design: Originally crafted for bikers, Iron Heart jeans feature functional details like outward-shifted back pockets for easier access while riding and longer sleeves on jackets to accommodate riding postures.

Double-Twisted Weft Yarns: Their denim construction includes double-twisted weft yarns, enhancing the fabric’s strength and contributing to its distinctive texture and fading characteristics.

Versatile Fits: Iron Heart offers a range of cuts, from the classic straight-leg IH-634S to the slim-tapered IH-777 and the relaxed-tapered IH-888, catering to various style preferences.
