Toorak Shirt

Description
When we say the Toorak Shirt is as tough as an old gum tree, we're not kidding. In fact, we had to ask it politely just to convince it to bend at the elbows!
Crafted from the kind of heavyweight Ironclad canvas that can handle anything you throw its way, the Toorak Shirt is the ultimate partner for your outdoor expeditions. Whether you're wrangling sheep, casting lines, or just kicking back with the gentry at a pub in Toorak, this shirt's for all sorts!
Now, let's talk details. This long sleeve button-down is designed for the blokes who don't just conquer the wild; they do it in style. With roll-up sleeve tabs that say, "I'm ready for anything," and pockets riveted so securely you could hang a hammock from them, this shirt means business. And those topstitched seams? They're as reliable as your ute, mate. We swear!
But that's not all - check out those front patch pockets! We're not just giving you one; we're giving you two, with the right one stacked on top, ready to cradle your sunnies like a mother hen. Plus, there's a sneaky quick-entry snap pocket on the right, because we know you're always on the move.
And let's not forget the custom metal Kakadu buttons and rivets. It's like the shirt's saying, “I’m form meets function!” Those back action pleats? They're like little gifts of mobility, giving you the freedom to wrestle crocs or to reach into the esky without any restrictions.
So, whether you're tackling work or seeking out the next adventure, the Toorak Shirt is your Ironclad canvas clad true mate!

Material & Care
I generally love this shirt, and appreciate the weight of the fabric and the interesting details. However, the original Toorak shirt (purchased in 2014) was significantly larger in a given size, the Large fit me perfectly. I was delighted to find them still on sale here, but disappointed to find that the Large is quite a bit smaller now. For example, the sleeves are 4cm shorter. So you may find that you will need to go up a size when ordering.
Having owned two of these shirts, I have also found that the underarm seam is a weak point, although they both lasted 10 years before the seam parted!
I first bought this shirt in 2014, and it became a favorite. When I wanted to replace it, I found it was no longer in production! I managed to find a used one on eBay. And now I find Whilias&Gunn have the shirt in stock! That's the good news.
The bad news is that the sizing has changed, and the Large I bought ten years ago is noticeably larger than the new shirt I just received. I will also note that the underarm seam appears to be a weak point; both the original shirts that I have failed in the same spot.
Even with that issue, I love this shirt, it feels sturdy and very comfortable, with a nice masculine look. Ordering another, size XL.
Fit is right on. High gauged material so it's heavy tough stuff. It'll be a shirt that'll last awhile.
