I don't normally care for the demin shirting, but it looks pretty damn good with that herringbone jacket and tie. Vaclav has a tie like that.

Hi Tomasso, that is a great denim shirt. I have been looking for such a shirt for years to no avail. My shirtmaker made one for me, however it's a dark shade of blue, he could not locate the lighter blue cloth that you have. Nice choice and perfect combination with the brown herringbone jacket.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Just thinking about Denim shirts...
I often wear very well pressed chambray shirts in different shades of blue with dark knit not-too-wide ties.
It's a nice look.
Chambray is obviously lighter in weight than Denim so maybe you can do a bit more with it - dress it up or down even on the hottest days.
Just a thought.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Never liked denim or chambray shirts, a little too working class/factory. I do like the color when used in other shirts.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Horace,
Thanks for these great images, very interesting indeed. Miles has a theory about the modern Bean shirts, which hopefully he might post on here. If he does so, I'd be interested in your comments.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Hi Horace,
Thanks for giving my Hathaway theory your consideration. Whoever really knows the 'real' story behnd these things?
Your pics go from strength to strength - So much style!
I love reading around the adverts too... a glimps into a lost world.
I am still no nearer to pinning down Chet Baket's 'Venetian' loafers or getting the low-down on the Yale Coop... My studies, as ever, go on...
All the best -
Miles

I'm pleased to note that our old friend Skip from AA&AAC has taken note of this thread and repeated some of what's gleaned from it, there.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Horace, how long have you been collecting these old ads? Do you scan these individually? It is very interesting.
AS for the button down collar, I am not a fan. Also, why would a shirt for wearing with the suit have a flap on the pocket? What does one put in the pocket that would be at risk of flying about? Why would there be a pocket anyway? Or is this a working shirt?
