Convertible-Collar Shirt

NOTE: THE COLOR SHIRT MODEL WEARS IS "MADDER" AND NOT "MADDER EXHAUST"

Cut from a Japanese cotton double cloth, this shirt is perfect for summer days given its airiness and excellent hand that retains a subtle structure. We constructed this shirt with a 3-ply collar that provides stiffness without relying on fusible interfacings that can cause unsightly bubbling and wrinkling as the fusible interfacing's glue deteriorates over time.

We made this limited run of shirts by using a madder exhaust bath to obtain a warm orange hue of varying saturation.

Note that slight variations in color may occur among dye lots and are attendant to the natural dye process.
