#1164 Rainbow Nep Chambray - Blue

This style uses cotton chambray cloth from one of the finest mills in Japan. Some favorite styles take a classic and add a solid creative twist. That's what this fabric does so well. It starts with a finer 4 ounce chambray base. Soft and easy to wear. The base color is classic powder blue. The star of the show is the nep yarns. Woven into the warp are small specks of color - reds, greens, blues, yellows. This shirt hits all the right notes and takes a classic style to the next level.

This shirt is sewn up in our Classic Style. We spent the most time really making a true improvement to fit. The best way to put it is that our updated fit simply feels more organic. There is a much more sophisticated and natural shape to the entire body, from shoulders to chest to waist, that better matches the natural curve of the human form. We’ve better aligned shoulder and chest widths and given the bottom hem only a subtle curve, striking an improved balance between tucking and untucking ability. The improved fit is something you notice the instant you put this new shirt on. It just flows with the body better and feels better on. We also believe this fit is more universal. It’s taking the place of slim and classic fits . . . this is now our best fit.

We made two key upgrades to the details while preserving the classic style we all love. The first is button placement on the placket. Most people are wearing these shirts without ties, and now opening that top button leaves the ideal shape. Second is a gently rounded chest pocket shape to provide a softer, more organic look. Of course, we’ve kept all the intricate construction details from the single needle work to the locker loop to the box pleat.

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