italian collar scholar shirt.
This shirt is made from vintage deadstock cotton broadcloth from Italy. The base color is a pinpoint weave, alternating rich baby blue and white in the warp and weft. Eggplant pinstripes are woven vertically an inch apart. This fabric has an incredibly beautiful drape because of the single ply compact yarns woven together and the high thread count. I love baby blue and eggplant together; it reminds me of old Dries or Marni.
Extremely lightweight, smooth handfeel with a slight luster.
The silhouette is a departure from the ever popular camp collar shirt, more fitted across the shoulder with a slightly longer sleeve and self cuff. The Italian collar is simply just one continuous piece, rather than a collar with a lapel. I’m not saying you heard it here first, but the Italian collar is back. It’s been lurking quietly in the background since the late 1950s and deserves some show time. A classic silhouette that can formalize the simplest of textiles.
