The woven cotton of this shirt is lightweight and tailored to perfection- the square bottom tails create deeper sides, which have side vent slits, producing less bulk for a neat fit when standing yet relaxed when sitting. The classic French style collar is half-spread with sharp points which have been stiffened using six layers of unfused cloth. The buttons are made from thick mother-of-pearl, are aligned along the wide placket and the color of the button-hole yarns are matched exactly to the shirt. The wide and thin blue stripes are aligned from collar to cuff. Side seams and double cuffs complete the sleek finish to this tailored classic.
