This style uses cotton poplin cloth from one of the finest mills in Japan. The pattern consists of series of smaller checks composing a nature inspired color pallet. You've got woody browns next to multiple shades of green, combined with whites and blacks. It all comes together in a lively form in this fabric. Each color is slightly muted which gives it nice balance and flow. This a light fabric perfect for warmer weather and we pre-wash to enhance the feel and to reduce shrink.

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.

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.
