The Thursday Buy: The Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt Takes on a Timeless Military Style for Spring

Buck Mason men's chambray shirt review.

Certain menswear essentials are so classic, so utterly timeless, that they tend to look great no matter the era or even the season. While fits and fabrics sometimes change, the best men’s chambray shirts certainly qualify as a time-honored men’s style staple — all the better if they’re made by a modern brand that has a healthy respect for the classics. In the case of today’s style selection that brand, of course, is Buck Mason, a perennial favorite of this Brooklyn style blog and a company that certainly delivers a true twist on an old favorite when it comes to the Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt.

This particular shirt is a recent introduction to the brand’s lineup of the best shirts for men, which put a fresh twist on old-school staples like the Oxford shirt, the cotton twill workshirt and even the flannel shirt (in the colder months, of course). The Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt takes its cues from the sturdy cotton poplin build of the throwback US Navy N-3 button-up, which was worn as a tough workshirt in warm weather.

It’s quite the place to draw inspiration from, and the lightweight durability of the Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt should speak for itself. It should ultimate prove softer and less densely woven than one of the best chambray shirts, with slightly different texture and character — and yet, that doesn’t make the highly durable cotton-poplin construction of the Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt any less useful in your own style rotation this season.

In fact, the Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt can be worn as a lightweight overshirt of sorts atop a crisp pocket tee or a short-sleeve henley, or else buttoned up and used to dress down a soft-shouldered navy or khaki cotton blazer. The indigo dye of the Buck Mason Engine Room Shirt will shift over time and patina in its own way, while side seam gussets give you more room to move when wearing this as a workshirt.
