Wonderfully soft brushed twills in a rare palette of heather blues and reds. Woven in Japan, these are an ideal combination of comfort and style. The Heather Brushed Twills.
These shirts start with a dense yet flowingly soft twill base. The intensely brushed surface gives the fabric texture and a luxurious feel. It's just what you want to wear on a crisp day. The colors truly make it exceptional. A palette of heathers emerge from the combination of a colorful warp and crisp white weft. The clouds, in blue or red, have high contrast heather. The deeps, blue or red, give more weight to the darker warp. Pick your favorite and you're ready for the cooler days ahead.
This shirt is sewn up in our Classic Style. We spent the most time really making a true improvement to fit. The best way to put it is that our updated fit simply feels more organic. There is a much more sophisticated and natural shape to the entire body, from shoulders to chest to waist that better matches the natural curve of the the human form. We’ve better aligned shoulder and chest widths and given the bottom hem only a subtle curve, striking an improved balance between tucking and untucking ability. The improved fit is something you notice the instant you put this new shirt on. It just flows with the body better and feels better on. We also believe this fit is more universal. It’s taking the place of slim and classic fits . . . this is now our best fit.
We made two key upgrades to the details while preserving the classic style we all love. The first is button placement on the placket. Most people are wearing these shirts without ties and now opening that top button leaves the ideal shape. Second is a gently rounded chest pocket shape to provide a softer, more organic look. Of course, we’ve kept all the intricate construction details from the single needle work to locker loop to box pleat.
Buttons 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.
