One of our favorite mills in Japan that loves taking inspiration from vintage military styles has turned its attention to the Panama Cloth and to create the perfect match for a summer shirt. These are our first Panama Cloth Shirts.
The Panama Cloth employs a basic basket weave where warp and weft cross to form a square, box-like construction. We love this style's subtle texture and loose weave. That openness also allows the fabric to breathe better, an ideal enhancement for summer use. Finally, a rich and retro palette of vintage military inspired colors completes the package.
Our short sleeve button-up fits just like the long sleeve. It shares the same beautifully tailored body, not too slim, but fitted. High armholes keep the body lines clean. A very gently scooped bottom hem that works wonderfully un-tucked or tucked. A no-button collar that’s perfectly sized to sit well.
We labor over every construction detail. Extensive single needle stitching is used throughout. All our closures are made from true mother of pearl. The front placket is also pleated, made the right way, using a true two piece construction. The feel is more substantial and the effort higher, but it's the right way. A rounded chest pocket completes the front.
Button-up shirts 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 better.
"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
