Red Dirt is the color of the Brazos River Valley — the soil that grew the cotton and corn, the clay that cakes boots and patches log cabin walls. It's an iron plow, a rusted tractor, the muddy riverbanks, and the river of song that gave the world Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin' Hopkins.
Made from a 97% cotton, 3% spandex poplin blend — lightweight, breathable, and built with just enough stretch for those long, versatile days that begin under an open sky and end at a seated dinner. The spandex is sourced from Santa Rita, giving this shirt a mobility that pure cotton can't match without sacrificing the look or feel of premium cotton. Small batch, hand cut and sewn, limited run.
Cut slim for a tailored silhouette. Hand-sewn in the USA.

How we measure
Chest — Button the shirt and lay it flat. Measure across about an inch below the underarm seam, then double that figure for the full chest.
Shoulder — Measure straight across the back, from one shoulder seam to the other.
Sleeve — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Length — Measure from the high point of the shoulder, beside the collar, straight down to the hem.
On the fit
Cut with a tapered body for a clean line through the torso without pulling across the back. True to size.
Every shirt is cut by hand. Expect up to a quarter inch of variation piece to piece.
Between sizes?
Take the larger for more room through the chest or to layer underneath. Take the smaller for a closer, more tailored line.
The surest method: measure a shirt you already own and like, using the method above, and compare it to the chart.

Our Slim Fit
Brazos Fine Shirts come in a modern slim fit that offers a tailored look through the chest and waist while keeping comfort and mobility. Our sizing (S, M, L, XL, 2XL) follows "slim fit" measurements of brands like Levi's and J.Crew. If you prefer extra room, size up from your regular "standard fit."
Garment Measurements
We publish garment measurements — the shirt itself, laid flat, in inches. Every product page carries that shirt's own measured chart under Size Chart; the numbers below are our standard long-sleeve cut. Heavier cloths like flannel and corduroy run about a half inch fuller through the chest.
