Lace Resort Shirt

“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers,” Voltaire said.

If you don’t agree, this isn’t the shirt for you.

This one requires an open-minded, bold view of the world. A willingness to compromise with bohemian sensibilities and take your cues from rock and roll.

If you can’t get to Antibes, a lace shirt works in Miami, Palm Springs, or even Southampton if you get the right invitation.

Think of it as a ticking clock on the constraints of a buttoned-down attitude. Set yourself free.

Get edgy.

It won’t change you fundamentally (it’s just a shirt, when it comes down to it), but it can shake things up a bit, and isn’t that what you’ve been craving?

1954 Lace Resort Shirt (No. J8183). The shirt the King wore so memorably on stage from the ‘50s onward. Classic short sleeve resort shape and collar. The most notable feature (besides a great slightly-boxy fit), is the incredible open weave lace fabric. Two rounded chest pockets. Mother of pearl buttons. Imported.
