Combining remarkable durability, rugged good looks, water repellent finish, and easy care/non-iron characteristics our work shirt has been a favourite since we launched it 7 years ago. The 2021 is ever so slightly more tailored but just as comfortable.

Good quality, neck diameter info is lacking
I purchased this in XL hoping it would fit a little better than the L, I had tried a year previous. Generally speaking, it does and I like this shirt in principle. But I still can’t use a key feature — the neck collar button tabs. It’s just too tight around the neck. Alchemy should provide neck diameter in its size guides. I’ve never had a fit issue with any of my other dozen-plus purchases from the company over the years. Really, this is a 3.5-4 star review, but I’m docking a star for disappointing customer service in not responding to any of my outreach about this purchase.

Wool cotton work shirt.
Really great fit which is usual for your products.
May have to purchase another one in the winter.

Elegant casual
I was so pleased with the first shirt I bought a second. I wear over a merino T shirt warm for winter and cold autumn or spring, and pair with Alchemy Wool Blend Slim leg trousers. Well cut and well made, fabric heavy enough so it drops well and doesn't wrinkle. Excellent functional pockets.
