workshirt

Blue-collar garment

A workshirt is a sturdy, durable shirt designed for manual labor, typically made of heavy cotton, denim, or flannel with a button front and chest pockets.

The style has crossed into casual fashion, where workshirts are worn for their rugged aesthetic rather than practical function: He threw on an old workshirt to do yard work.
