Why We Love This Deal
The camp shirt has been a warm-weather staple since the ‘50s, making its way from Cuban guayabera style into American fashion. It’s gone through cycles of irony and sincerity over the decades, but right now it sits firmly as a reliable, trendy pick for anyone who wants to look put-together without trying too hard. Target was not where we expected to find these shirts, but the retailer's Goodfellow & Co brand just launched a collection of them for just $30.
The Goodfellow & Co Knit Camp Shirt is available in several versions at Target, including solids and some graphic prints, too, though we're more into the solid colors. They come in four colors and are available in sizes small through 2XL. There are also some big and tall sizes, but they seem to be running low on stock.
Goodfellow & Co Knit Camp Shirt, $30 at Target
What Shoppers Should Know
- Material: 60% cotton, 40% recycled polyester, midweight jersey
- Fit: Standard, below-waist length
- Pockets: Chest patch
- Care: Machine wash, tumble dry
- Best For: Casual spring/summer wear, beach-to-bar, weekend outings
Camp shirts are one of those warm-weather pieces that work at the beach, bar, and everywhere in between. Goodfellow’s knit take on the style keeps it classic with a notched collar, full-button placket, chest patch pocket, and side vents in a midweight cotton-poly blend that’s substantial but not heavy enough to weigh you down in the heat.
The knit construction here is what makes it look and feel like it costs more than it does. Most camp shirts at this price are woven, which can sometimes feel stiff (especially after a few washes). The jersey knit is better for movement and breathability, which is what you want in a camp shirt.
The biggest standout here, though, is the price. Paying $30 is more than fair, especially when you consider that some of the most affordable options (like J.Crew’s Camp-collar Knit Shirt) are still around $50 on sale.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Since they're newer, there aren’t many written reviews yet, but they have a 4.5-star rating out of 17 total. The other thing that should put you at ease is that Goodfellow & Co, while a house brand, is typically known for supplying decent-quality basics, regardless of the product category.
The Goodfellow & Co Knit Camp Shirt is ready to go for $30, and now’s the perfect time to get one, as camp shirts are best worn in the spring and summer. If you need help putting together a full outfit, these other Target picks are worth a look:
Burnside Hybrid Stretch Cotton Blend Chino Shorts, $38 (was $48) at Target
A pair of chino shorts (or pants) is a safe and common pairing option, and these are made from a slub-weave fabric designed to stay breathable and dry quickly.
Cushionaire Haze Clogs, $50 (was $70) at Target
For footwear, a pair of sandals usually looks great with a camp shirt. Many love the look of a pair of Birkenstock Boston clogs, but if those are outside of your shoe budget, this pair will get the job done nicely.
Inspire Chic Corduroy Trucker Jacket, $51 (was $85) at Target
Depending on the weather, you might want some layering options, and a trucker jacket is a great choice for those breezy summer nights.
