#1321 Japan Rustic Gauze Houndstooth - Ocean

True craft from construction to fiber with a dash of retro style makes this shirt special. It starts with a special gauze inspired construction, which creates an open, loose weave. That's how the flowing feeling is achieved. A brushed blend of wool, linen and cotton creates the ideal combination of rustic, shaggy charm, comfort and usability. Despite the fibrous appearance, this shirt is quite plush. Finally, an old school nod comes in the form of the iconic houndstooth pattern, but it's more subtle and textural because of the finish and gauze construction. This shirt is another example of Japan's dedication to fabric craft. 

This shirt is sewn up in our new Rugged style. It's designed to be the perfect style for our heavier, more rustic fabrics we run. It's a bit more casual, without being over the top. This style is set off by three key design cues: a perfectly sized collar without buttons, two clean button closures, and rounded chest pockets. These three elements lend the style a more casual look while their clean implementation keeps the shirt versatile. A simpler back yoke replaces the box pleat and locker loop of our Classic style. Intricate stitching tacks down the collar stand. The Rugged style inherits the same core fit block from the updated Classic style. We knew it was right the moment we sewed up some flannels and heavy jacquards in this style.

Button downs made in the USA using our quality of material and construction are typically priced much higher. The Gustin model, with your support, lets us do much better.
