The Cotton Twill – Check in shades of blue

Shirt in cotton twill with a check in shades of blue

A checked shirt all in blues, which pairs effortlessly with a navy or grey suit. With its single cuffs, it goes to the office, out to dinner and into the weekend.

The pattern: Small, regular checks on a white ground, traced in lines of sky blue, clear blue and navy. From a distance, the whole looks mid blue, almost plain; up close, the three shades of blue can be told apart.

The cloth: Two-fold cotton twill, with a fine diagonal, for a shirt you will keep for years.

The collar: Italian collar, widely spread, which sets off the face and the tie.

The cuffs: Single cuffs with two buttons.
