Basics Slim Fit Cowhide Red Checks Shirt

Slim-fit shirt in 100% cotton with a Cowhide Red Checks pattern that reads sharp without being loud. The weave sits at 140 GSM—substantial enough to hold its shape through regular wear, yet breathable enough for the Indian summer stretch from March through early June. Minimal shrinkage after washing, which matters if you're particular about fit retention.

The check scale works well for office settings where a solid might feel too safe, but a bolder pattern would dominate. Layer it casually over a 100% cotton base or wear it standalone with tailored trousers. The red grounds it in warmth without the aggression of brighter reds, so it pairs easily with navy, charcoal, or olive bottoms. If you already own checked shirts in your rotation, this adds range through its specific colour tone.

Size true to our slim-fit chart—chest measurement is your key reference here. A fitted cut means less room to move; if you prefer breathing room around the ribs, size up once.
