#1269 Monster Rope Shirt - Charcoal

One of our favorite mills in Japan, inspired by chunky cable knit sweaters, created a stellar shirting fabric. Huge weight and equally big comfort are rarely found in the same garment. We occasionally find these gems. Today we found another one for you in shirt form. It starts with monster weight - 12 ounces, one of the top weight shirting styles. This version uses a plush, primarily wool composition and classic tweed construction to make it even more special. Huge rope-like yarns lend an almost hand-made look. You see and feel the amazing texture these big yarns add. Not only is the yarn huge, but it's also luxuriously soft and uses a very loose, open weave. That technique allows the fabric to flow and drape beautifully. It's comfort on day one. Not to be left unmentioned are the rich colors. This is a truly unique shirt from feel to style.

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.

Button 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.
