#1331 Electric Homespun Shirt - Retro Rainbow

Yarn drives this special shirting style from Japan. The mill calls it a low twist. It creates an open character to the finished fabric that lends it an old-world, hand-made look. This softness is a nice balance to the sturdy 9 ounce weight. Even better is the use of twisted yarn that combines multiple, vivid colors to create an organic, multi-hued heather effect. Rustic yet bright, the combination is spot on. The herringbone base with classic plaid adds complexity and an old school vibe. The result is in one of our favorite styles of the season.

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 two key design cues: a perfectly sized collar without buttons, two clean button closures, and rounded chest pockets. These two 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.

Buttons 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.
