Inspired by hand made cable knit sweaters, one of our favorite mills in Japan has created a shirting fabric with stunning, organic character. Hugely varied rope-like woolen yarns, an extra loose weave for a rustic and flowingly soft feel and an explosion of colored neps dotting the surface. This is shirting art in one of our most unique styles yet. The Japan Rustic Rope Shirts.
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 two key design cues: a perfectly sized collar without buttons, two clean button closures, and rounded chest pockets. These two 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.
Buttons 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.
