#1095 Electric Houndstooth - Navy School Bus

While we like the classics, we can respect a mill that puts a fresh spin on them. That's the highlight of these new styles. The patterns are timeless, in this case, a houndstooth. Instantly recognizable, it never goes out of style. The freshness comes from color. Vivid and electric bright combinations add the perfect amount of liveness for Spring. A soft and flowing 5 ounce base lends comfort. Classics updated and improved.

This shirt is sewn up in our Classic Style. We spent the most time really making a true improvement to fit. The best way to put it is that our updated fit simply feels more organic. There is a much more sophisticated and natural shape to the entire body, from shoulders to chest to waist that better matches the natural curve of the the human form. We’ve better aligned shoulder and chest widths and given the bottom hem only a subtle curve, striking an improved balance between tucking and untucking ability. The improved fit is something you notice the instant you put this new shirt on. It just flows with the body better and feels better on. We also believe this fit is more universal. It’s taking the place of slim and classic fits . . . this is now our best fit.

We made two key upgrades to the details while preserving the classic style we all love. The first is button placement on the placket. Most people are wearing these shirts without ties and now opening that top button leaves the ideal shape. Second is a gently rounded chest pocket shape to provide a softer, more organic look. Of course, we’ve kept all the intricate construction details from the single needle work to locker loop to box pleat.
