#10 Blue-Blue Gingham

This style uses cotton Gingham cloth from one of the finest mills in Japan. Another oldie but goodie, this was one our first ginghams and is a fan favorite - it's really unique yet still retains a classic look. Sometimes you see a color combination that just blows you away. This was one of those cases for us. The combination of a rich blue paired with a baby blue creates an overall shade that is just beautiful. We also opted for a super small check to give it a slightly finer look. It's a lighter weight as compared to our beefy Oxford and has super soft hand feel. We pre-wash to enhance the feel and to reduce shrink. This color combination should be an amazing pair with a crisp pair of raw denim. We'd recommend Gustins.

Our fit starts with a beautifully tailored body, not too slim, but definitely fitted. High armholes keep the body lines clean. The length hits just right so it looks great tucked or untucked. Scooped out sides give the untucked look a bit of extra style. A traditional button down collar is secured with two side buttons and one back and has a nice soft roll.

We labor over every construction detail. Extensive single needle stitching is used throughout. All our closures are made from true mother of pearl. A finely folded locker loop sits over a box pleat on the back yoke. 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. An angular chest pocket completes the front. Our cuffs are double button with rounded corners.

Button downs that are made in the USA using our quality of material and construction are typically priced at $175 to $300. The Gustin model, with your support, lets us do much better.
