Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Utility Shirts:

What actually makes a shirt a "utility" shirt?

A standard shirt is just for coverage – a utility shirt is a tool. Our men’s utility shirts are packed with functional features you won't find on a basic button-down, like hidden chamois patches for cleaning your glasses, specialized pencil pockets and ventilated backs to keep you cool. They are built with beefier fabrics and reinforced stitching to withstand the job site.

Will these shirts restrict my movement when I'm reaching or bending?

Not a chance. We know there’s nothing worse than a shirt that pinches in the armpits or untucks when you reach overhead. That’s why our utility work shirts for men are designed with our signature Reach Gussets®. These underarm panels give you a full range of motion, so you can swing a hammer or reach the top shelf without your sleeves riding up or your hem popping out.

Are Duluth utility shirts breathable enough for hot weather?

You bet. We offer several utility shirts for men specifically engineered for the heat. Look for our performance versions that feature moisture-wicking technology and mesh-lined "cool-zone" venting. These features pull sweat away from your skin and allow air to circulate, keeping you focused on the job instead of the humidity.

What kind of storage do these shirts offer for tools or gear?

Our men's utility work shirts are designed to keep your essentials within arm's reach. Most styles feature secure chest pockets plus a zip “Napoleon” pocket to keep your phone from falling out when you lean over. There’s even a dedicated pencil pocket so you can jot notes or work orders on the spot.
