Graph check shirt
Is anyone else a fan? Heavy Tweed Jacket recently did a piece which started me thinking.
I have one, white check on Cambridge blue ground, short sleeved broadcloth, BB Makers and very nice too, one of my favourite summer shirts.
I`m particularly fond of it because it`s similar to the one Sonny Clark is wearing on the cover of his Leapin` and Lopin`

Re: Graph check shirt
I have a Mercer version of the graph check. It's incredibly versatile, but I like it best with a grey herringbone/dark knit tie combo. It also pairs well with a suit.

Count me in too - Blue on White. A nicely subtle change from a mini-Tattersall.

What does a graph check shirt look like?

Got it.
Generally, the subtle, looks-solid-from-a-distance, patterns are very versatile.

Re: Graph check shirt
I'd never seen it in the wild, but ever since HTJ's post I've been pinching pennies for a graph check Mercer.

Re: Graph check shirt
Love that type of shirt. Among my faves. Andover has done them. I have a few from New & Lingwood. Maybe more Brit than American, though we've certainly got them here. Notice Mercer has one in their latest swatch mailing.
