Billy Butcher’s shirt from the latest episode of The Boys is pretty fantastic and we know where it’s from. Billy Butcher, portrayed by Karl Urban, is one of the main characters on the television series The Boys. His character is known for his tropical styled button-down shirts.
This month the show, which is an Amazon Original Series, returned for its second season. The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven”, and their formidable Vought backing.

The Shirt
In Season 2 Episode 4 “Nothing Like It In The World”, Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) is wearing a dark blue button-down shirt under his signature brown coat. The shirt is made by Uniqlo Co., Ltd, a Japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer, and retailer. The shirt is called the “Men Hokusai Blue Open Collar Short Sleeve Shirt“.
Filming for the Boys Season 2 took place in 2019. Many times the time between filming and the show airing can be anywhere from 12-18 months in between. In other words, it’s rare to be able to find items actors wear available in-store by the time we see them on television. However, as of today, the shirt is available in limited sizes through the Uniqlo website.
The Boys
The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Kapon, Karen Fukuhara, and Nathan Mitchell. It is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and was developed by showrunner Eric Kripke (“Supernatural”).
The first season and four of the eight-episode from the second season are available on Amazon Prime Video. New episodes available each Friday culminating in a season finale on October 9.
