Basics Slim Fit Racing Red Checks Shirt

This is a 100% cotton shirt in Racing Red Checks, cut to a slim fit that sits close to the frame without restriction. The fabric weighs 150 GSM—substantial enough to hold structure through a full day without feeling heavy, which matters in Indian summers when you're moving between air-conditioned offices and outdoor heat.

The checks are woven into the cotton rather than printed, so they won't fade or crack after repeated washing. Expect the shirt to soften noticeably after 3–4 washes, which actually improves comfort over time.

This works best as a semi-casual piece: wear it untucked over chinos on a Friday, or tuck it into trousers for client meetings. Red checks pair easily with navy, charcoal, or olive bottoms. You can also layer it under a checked shirt foundation if you explore other cotton options for rotation.

The slim fit runs true to size for most Indian men—if you're between sizes, stick with your regular. Wash in cool water to preserve the red; avoid chlorine bleach.
