A full rainbow of brilliantly bright colors is proof that plaids can be fun too. This version from Japan is the ultimate way to liven up a crisp pair of raw denim.

This style uses cotton cloth from one of the finest mills in Japan. Let's face it, it's fun to have a shirt in your collection that makes a statement. When we found a plaid that stepped up to this challenge we jumped on it. This one takes a classic pattern and makes it come alive with the brightest of colors. Greens, yellows, whites, oranges, pinks, purples, sky blues . . . this shirt has them all and in their brightest form. It's almost impossible to imagine how they could all work together, but in this classic plaid pattern they do just that. What's nice is that no single color dominates, they all seem to build on each other to a grand whole. This is the kind of shirt we love pairing with crisp raw denim. It's a winning combination.

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 always. 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.
