Some fabric is so sweet we can hardly contain ourselves. There are so many great forms it can take that we have to experiment. As you can see with this new the, the results were pleasantly surprising. It's starts with an impossibly inky and deep blue color. This is the type of richness in color that you only get from true indigo dye. Not only is the start great, but you can also imagine the soft wear-in you'll get as the indigo dye ages uniquely to your wear. This is the type of fabric all indigo lovers crave. Both warp and weft get full indigo treatment in this chambray weave and the overall look is versatile enough to be casual or take on a touch of formality. That's a good thing because the 7 ounce weight makes for a solid short sleeve button up that you can wear all year long. Versatility, style and comfort in our favorite color.

The short sleeve button up occupies a unique spot in our warm weather attire. It has a nice balance of formality from the button up shape with the sheer comfort of short sleeves. It's the type of shirt you can wear comfortably with shorts, a faded pair of raw denim or a clean pair of khakis. The look feels right. Ours is clean and properly constructed from a perfect collar, to a bottom hem that can be worn untucked, to nicely fitted sleeves. 

Our short sleeve button-up fits just like the long sleeve. It shares the same beautifully tailored body, not too slim, but definitely fitted. High armholes keep the body lines clean. A very gently scooped bottom hem that works wonderfully un-tucked or tucked. A no-button collar that’s perfectly sized to sit well. We removed the back pleat and locker loop, adding to the minimalist and casual nature of this style.

We labor over every construction detail. Extensive single needle stitching is used throughout. All our closures are made from true mother of pearl. 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.

Button-up shirts 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.
