Big Yank
1942 Short Sleeve Chambray Shirt: Indigo
Founded in 1919 in Chicago, Big Yank is a reference in American workwear. After a long period of inactivity, the brand was revived under the direction of Japanese designer Kinji Teramoto, with all production now based in Japan. Authentic, durable, and timeless workwear.
