Basics Slim Fit Balsam Grey Checks Shirt

A slim-fit shirt in 100% cotton with a balsam grey checks pattern — clean geometry that works across formal and casual settings. The fabric runs at 140 GSM, substantial enough to hold its structure through the day without feeling heavy, which matters in Indian summers when you're moving between air-conditioned offices and outdoor commutes. The weave is tight enough that the checks stay crisp after washing.

Grey checks are harder to read than solids, so they hide minor creases better — useful if you're wearing this through a workday. Layer it under a blazer or wear it standalone with chinos. If you're building around neutral tones, explore our full range of grey shirts or browse check designs for similar patterns in other colourways.

Slim fit runs close to the body through the chest and sleeves. If you prefer room for layering or a looser drape, size up once. Wash in cool water to preserve the grey tone.
