WORKING Trap Shirt | Beach Tar
The Trap Shirt takes its name from the distinctive trapezoidal shoulder yokes, which split off from the sides of a formal tailored yoke, like oxbow lakes from a river. The tailored, standless collar blends elements of camp, penny, funnel, club, mandarin, stub, and shawl collars. Symmetrical flapped chest pockets refer to military utility and architectural minimalism – reflecting the design perspectives and influences of the founders – while the unhemmed, hand-pinked bottom edge echoes WORKING’s trademark swatch tab and keeps the shirt light and flat. It features the brand’s signature overlapping back seam, which is adapted from bib overalls and the cuffs of Lee chore coats. Buttons are made from cellulose acetate derived from recycled cigarette butts, underscoring the brand’s commitment to considered and unconventional material use.
