Basics Slim Fit Gargen Navy Cotton Checks Shirt

This is a slim fit shirt in Gargen Navy, cut from 100% cotton with an all-over checks pattern that reads formal enough for office wear without the stiffness of a plain weave. The fabric is a lightweight oxford at 140 GSM, which breathes well through Delhi summers and Mumbai monsoons without clinging or wrinkling excessively.

Gargen Navy is a versatile deep blue-grey that sits between classic navy and charcoal—it pairs as easily with chinos as it does with the darker shades in our checks collection. The slim cut works best untucked or half-tucked, especially if you're moving between formal and casual settings during the day. Layer it under a blazer for client meetings, or wear it solo with light trousers for weekend errands.

This fabric holds its shape through regular washing, though like most cotton shirts, expect a marginal shrink in the first two washes if you're not careful with temperature. Size up if you prefer a less tapered fit through the chest and shoulders.
