The check shirt is one of those pieces that most men own a version of and almost nobody wears well. Too often it ends up as an afterthought, thrown on over a t-shirt for a Saturday errand run and never asked to do anything more interesting than that. Which is a waste, because a well made check shirt in the right scale of pattern can anchor an outfit the same way a solid oxford cloth button down can. The difference is in the cloth weight, the collar roll, and whether the pattern was chosen with any real thought behind it. We have been looking specifically for checks that read as considered rather than default. Shirts that work tucked into trousers as easily as they work open over a crewneck. The ones in here are not trying to be loud. They are trying to be useful, and they manage it with enough style that you actually want to reach for them.
