Men’s Shirt, Vichy Check, Blue/White

The sporty-elegant Kent collar shirt impresses with its fine poplin quality with a soft finish, Vichy check pattern, patch breast pocket and rounded hem. The cotton fabric comes from the renowned Italian weaving mill, Carlo Bassetti. The cotton fabric is particularly light and breathable. The high wearing comfort is enhanced by its pleasant feel and excellent fit. The practical convertible cuffs can be worn with cufflinks or buttons. The name Vichy is derived from the French spa town of the same name, where Emperor Napoleon III often spent his holidays. In 1863, he visited the Grivates spinning mill in Cusset, where the typical pattern had been produced since around 1820. Empress Eugenie liked the pattern and brought it to Paris, from where it later spread throughout France and Europe. The stylish Vichy check allows the shirt to be co-ordinated with a variety of clothes. The smooth, yet strong and durable fabric is pleasant to wear. The shirt has a comfortable fit with a breast pocket and genuine mother-of-pearl buttons.
