Collars And Colours: Winter Shirts

Stripes in Organic Cotton
The Macon blue and Oberst red stripes are woven in 100% organic cotton, and each comes in two shapes. The Garrison is new: loose through the body, with a soft spread collar, a curved hem and a unique sleeve construction. The New York Special is the regular-fit option, with a spear collar sharp enough for tailoring. Its Fahey Blue Stripe is brushed, raising a softer surface for colder days.

Corduroy, Fine and Full
Mersey cord is the fine end: 100% organic cotton with a micro-wale, so the ribs are close enough to feel smooth. The Atlanta wears it loose in brown, with a natural drape. It also comes in Newson cord, a similarly fine wale dyed indigo. The Penryn takes on our Mersey corduroy in caramel brown and adds a spear collar, two chest patch pockets and a curved hem for wearing untucked. The Quito overshirt is the fuller cord, cut in our Ivers cotton with a slight stretch, so the ribs move when you do. With a Western yoke and two pockets, wear it open over a knit and it does the work of a light jacket.

Rinsed Denim
The same Quito shape comes in Mullins Denim Rinse Indigo, a 100% organic cotton with an indigo dye treatment. It starts dark and fades to the way you wear it. With its Western details, it can be worn both as a typical shirt as well as an overshirt. Other indigo rinses include our perennial button-down Brook shirt and our Corby shirt with its two welted chest pockets.

Checks, All Volumes
Fairport Rust Check is the loud one: a rust red check in organic cotton, made as the Brook button-down and the Corby, which adds two welted chest pockets and contrast buttons. Put it with indigo or white denim. The Brook in Briggs Grey Check keeps the volume down, in a dark grey check made for dark trousers. Quietest of all is the New York Special in Fiori Grey Check, a brushed cotton shadow plaid.
