What Makes a Quality Farmers Shirt?

When it comes to a farmer's shirt it's not just about the appearance. You need a shirt that can stand strong against strenuous farm work. Here’s what to look for:

Warm and breathable: Morning and evenings working outdoors can be chilly, but you’ll soon work up a sweat getting to work on your farming. You need farming shirts made of high-quality materials like cotton or polycotton that can keep you warm but remain breathable so you don’t overheat. Avoid synthetic fibres as they tend to trap heat and can be uncomfortable for heavy labour.

Practical and functional: You might look dapper in a white shirt, but every splash of greasy, mud or muck is going to show and ruin your shirt. You’ll need a checkered shirt pattern that’s both visually impressive but also cleverly designed to mask stains and draw attention away from dirt. This allows you to get more life out of your shirt and still look presentable on a workday.

Durable: You’ll spend most of your day lifting, bending, herding livestock or operating machinery. Such a hands-on job needs a farmer’s shirt with durable material that won’t rip, fray or wear from repeated heavy use.

Your checkered shirt might be the star of the show but no farming outfit is complete without the full range of practical clothing you need to help get your job done.

Headwear: A simple yet effective form of protection from the elements, quality farmer caps keep your head shielded from rain, wind and sunlight so you keep working in any weather.
