Does anybody remember wearing these back in the day? I've had two, one made of rayon (chilly feel to it), the other some kind of non-iron mix - thus breaking my rule again on natural fibres. It's the history of them that appeals, though, like Career Club. At any rate it's bloody hard-wearing. Wide stripes in earth colours; goes nicely with chinos or denim.
I'm wearing this shirt today, under a Paine English Explorer. Sunday morning relaxation wear. I never fail to be impressed by its durability. I wonder if they cost much.
I confess to a lapse in memory here. I remember the rayon item, but not the other. It was a check half-sleeve, deadstock, that came from Roseanne Ettinger, when she still had her shop in Scranton PA (now relocated to Georgia but still trading). The other must have come from a US seller but I can't remember anything about it. The Career Club shirt I recall wearing on a visit to Russell Street: worn with white Levis and probably loafers.
All these have fallen by the wayside. Brooks shirts seem to last a lifetime.
