Need a heavyweight work shirt that’s built for long days outdoors?

The Thomas Cook Heavy Drill Half Button Shirt is made for hard-wearing country work.

The half-button shirt is a much-loved alternative to a full button shirt for country people, workers and tradies all over Australia. They're easy on/off (less buttons) and safer because there are no shirt-tails to get caught in machinery or on fences.
Built from 100% cotton drill in heavy weight 200gsm fabric, this shirt is a tougher feel than the Light Drill Half Button option which sits at 150gsm. Both offer tested and approved UPF 50+ protection.

The large countryman pockets with pen holder give you practical storage on the job, and the concealed button down collar and logo buttons keep up that classic Thomas Cook workwear look that we love.
