This style uses cotton poplin cloth from one of the finest mills in Japan. The combination of gold and a purple-blue can be shocking (think Los Angeles Lakers). When they're dialed to just the right shade, slightly muted, and make up the colors in a classic plaid, good things happen. As you can see the colors in this fabric work wonderfully together. The gold fades from light to dark and the thin lines of the plaid add just enough color variation to keep things interesting. This style goes well with both crisp denim and your most well worn pair.

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.
