Patagonia Farrier women’s work shirt

Kate Agathon

The Patagonia Farrier women’s work shirt is the perfect transitional shirt for fall. It’s the inbetween shirt from summer weight cotton and cozy winter flannels.

 

Constructed from an industrial hemp/ recycled polyester blend, the material is enough to provide just enough warmth for crisp fall days, but won’t overheat you.

While the weight of the shirt can initially seem like a deterrent, the only thing you’ll notice is its softness and durability.

 

What makes the shirt are the details that demonstrate the designers intended this shirt to be used for work; work that involves a lot of bending, stretching and reaching. A shirt that won’t easily get snagged.

 

The sleeves are intentionally longer so they can be rolled up (it is a work shirt, remember). The chest pockets are deep enough to be useful (can hold a cell phone, pens, box cutter, etc.). Additionally, the cut itself is longer so that it can be worn out (great for bike commuting) and provide coverage (doing squats lifting boxes at work).

 

While the Farrier shirt looks large hanging in the closet compared to other shirts, it is a true-to-size fit. I was actually surprised at how well it fit after I first tried it on. It was not bulky, it was not super fitted; just flattering.

I was thrilled that the Great Plains: Fire plaid was available in the women’s version. So often, the best prints are for the men’s shirts, while the women’s have softer tones. I loved the boldness of the red plaid!

 

I also liked the industrial metal buttons. They just stood out as little details that made the shirt extra special. I liked the Farrier shirt from the beginning, but the buttons and print are what ultimately made the shirt a winner for me. I truly hope that Patagonia keeps the Farrier shirt as a staple and adds more prints to the collection.

 

Final words? The Patagonia Farrier shirt is a well-designed work shirt that works for you all day long.
