A classic workwear shirt in thick Chambray like cotton featuring reinforced top stitch placket which was a common feature off working and harder wearing garments of the period.
Shirts were often collarless in the 1930s because detachable collars were a common feature of men's fashion at the time. Detachable collars allowed men to maintain a crisp, clean look without frequently laundering the entire shirt, which was more labor-intensive in that era. This design also made it easy to replace worn or soiled collars, saving money and extending the life of the shirt. The practice was rooted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but remained popular among certain classes and professions in the 1930s due to its practicality and the formal aesthetic it provided.
