The Surplus Short Sleeve Shirt

Story

Military-grade durability in a breezy, vintage-inspired silhouette

The Surplus Short Sleeve Shirt is the result of Taylor Stitch’s commitment to building better staples that respect the environment and the wearer. Inspired by 1970s military gear, this shirt features a custom-loomed reverse sateen cotton that is pre-washed for a soft, lived-in feel from the first wear. It’s a clean, functional layer designed to transition seamlessly from the workshop to the weekend while standing up to years of use.

How to Measure - Your Chest: Measure under your arms around the widest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across the front and back to get an accurate measurement - Garment Chest: Measure straight across from edge to edge, starting 1" below the armhole, multiply by 2 - Garment Shoulder: Measure straight across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. Again, it’s easiest to measure across the back of the garment - Garment Body Length: Start at the top of the shoulder where it meets the neck seam, and measure straight down to the hem - Garment Sleeve Length: Start at the center of the back of the neck, measure straight across to the shoulder seam, and then follow the edge of the garment to the cuff. Pro tip: it’s easiest to measure across the back of the sleeve
