#1306 Shaggy Gauze Shirt - Ocean

This is the type of specialty fabric we love discovering for you. Japan does it like no other, and it's a showcase of technique and craft that yields a very special garment you can enjoy daily. Let's start with what instantly grabs your attention - the amazingly shaggy surface. Wool is heavily brushed to produce a fur-like appearance. It's rustic and organic. The moment you touch this shirt, you realize you have something very special. You expect a coarse, stiff hand, but it's more plush and flowy. There is a volume and airiness that's completely unexpected. The mill used a special gauze inspired construction, which creates an open, loose weave. That's how the incredible feeling is achieved. Iconic plaid patterns and spot on color combinations are the finishing touch. If you want a truly special shirt you won't find anywhere else, this is the one.

This shirt is sewn up in our new Rugged style. It's designed to be the perfect style for our heavier, more rustic fabrics we run. It's a bit more casual, without being over the top. This style is set off by three key design cues: a perfectly sized collar without buttons, two clean button closures, and rounded chest pockets. These three elements lend the style a more casual look while their clean implementation keeps the shirt versatile. A simpler back yoke replaces the box pleat and locker loop of our Classic style-intricate stitching tacks down the collar stand. The Rugged style inherits the same core fit block from the updated Classic style. We knew it was right the moment we sewed up some flannels and heavy jacquards in this style.

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