The Cotton Twill – White with burgundy and blue check

Shirt in cotton twill, white with a small blue and burgundy check

A small-check shirt, between town and country. With a tweed jacket and a hunting tie, it takes on a weekend look; under a plain suit, it stays understated.

The pattern: A small, regular check on a white ground, traced by alternating navy and burgundy threads. From a distance, the shirt looks a light blue-grey; up close, the two colours 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.

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