Japan has deployed masterful techniques to create a style with intense texture and some of the most unusual colors we've found this season. We call them the Vintage Color Wall Shirts.
High character fabric is what we prize in our partner mills from Japan. The key is that nothing is about mere surface level details. True craft is used to create fabrics with unmatched texture, pattern and color. Today is a showcase of the power of the dobby weave. It starts with a hugely varied set of vertical channels and ticking stripes of varying thickness and length. The result is organic and almost hand made in appearance. Even better, this is not a print. The dobby construction makes it a true construction element and you can feel each time you wear these styles. The color combinations are equally great and bold. From more tonal palettes to big contrast versions, each serves to enhance the unique vertical pattern. Retro vibes abound. Just pick your favorite color.
Our short sleeve button-up fits just like the long sleeve. It shares the same beautifully tailored body, not too slim, but fitted. High armholes keep the body lines clean. A very gently scooped bottom hem that works wonderfully, un-tucked or tucked. A no-button collar that’s perfectly sized to sit well.
We labor over every construction detail. Extensive single needle stitching is used throughout. All our closures are made from true mother of pearl. The front placket is also pleated, made the right way, using a true two piece construction. The feel is more substantial and the effort higher, but it's the right way. A rounded chest pocket completes the front.
Button-up shirts that are 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 better.
