To challenge the structural base are some details that draw more [rugged details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25) in the form of three buckles that look like a strapped-in look. The shirt showcases a color palette of white and blue with striped detailing and is constructed from 100% cotton materials.
