#1346 Japan Homespun Tweed Shirt - Retro 50s

Japan has taken inspiration from the historic tweed style and dialed it up in all the right ways. The first thing that jumps out is the rustic appearance and texture. This fabric looks as it has been worn well for decades. It has been designed to have a hand-woven look, with inconsistent thread lines and tufts of yarn popping out organically all over the surface. This designed thread-bare influence yields incredible texture. In contrast, the feel is anything but rustic. A loose weave and hefty plush yarn deliver a shirt with substance and a flowingly soft, gauze feel. Soft, contrasting colors define a large scale plaid pattern. This is special shirt.

This shirt is sewn up in our 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 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.
