The Cotton Twill – White with blue check

Shirt in cotton twill, white with blue checks

A white shirt checked in blue, to be worn with a green checked tweed, its matching waistcoat and a paisley tie. With its single cuffs, it goes to the office, out to dinner and into the weekend.

The pattern: A grid of fine blue lines traces a regular check on a white ground. The line stays light: from a distance, the shirt looks white with a bluish tint and lets the jacket and tie take centre stage.

The cloth: Two-fold cotton twill, in a crisp white, 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.
