This shirt just might be the ultimate companion for your favorite pair of raw denim. The iconic Buffalo Check dialed way up by a master mill in Japan. Luxuriously soft wool, airy volume, and vibrant color. We call them the Electric Buffalo Checks.
It's hard not to have seen a classic Buffalo Check. With ancient origins, it has withstood the test of time and remains a style we love. A bit rustic and perfect for pairing with denim. We wanted the ultimate version and found a true contender in Japan. It starts with a wool etamine construction which lends a loose flowing feel. 90% wool can be rough, but this one approaches a voluminous flannel feel - a pure joy to wear. Finally, the monster size checks and simply stellar color choices. Bold, vivid, high contrast, just the way it should be. Pick your favorite.
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 really 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. The moment we sewed up some flannels and heavy jacquards in this style we knew it was right.
Buttons downs that are made in the USA using our quality material and construction are typically priced much higher. The Gustin model, with your support, lets us do much better.
