The Cotton Twill – Small blue gingham

Shirt in cotton twill, small blue gingham

A small, discreet blue and white gingham, which can be worn almost like a plain shirt. Under a navy chalk-stripe suit, with a paisley tie, it stays crisp and understated.

The pattern: A gingham in very small checks, clear blue and white, regular and closely spaced. From a distance, the shirt looks plain mid blue; up close, the grid emerges and adds texture.

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.

The cut: Classic fit, neither slim nor loose, for comfort and a flattering silhouette.
