DS-2768 Ombre Check 2 Flap Open Shirt

100% Cotton

Sizes 36 (S), 40 (L), and 42 (XL) are sold out.

This two-flap, open-collar shirt is a classic of the 1950s, and is made from yarn-dyed cotton ombré check, a fabric that was immensely popular at the time.

The design is a Dry Bones classic, with a sharply curved collar and two flap pockets. It's a typical early 1950s design.

However, it is actually made with great care and attention to detail...

This regular check makes it easy to see, but when viewed from the front, the pocket flaps are slightly raised outward.

The difference was only 5mm compared to the 12cm pocket width. By increasing this 5mm, the man's figure appeared to have the "simple and sturdy" look that men's style desired at the time.

On the other hand, if the pocket flaps are completely horizontal, the outside will appear to hang down when worn, making the garment look flimsy.

Similarly, the collar has a sharp curve at the tip, and is cut so that when the first button is open, the collar appears to rise slightly towards the shoulders. This is a pattern making technique that prevents the shoulders from appearing sloping.

It's a typical, ordinary shirt from the early 1950s, but in fact, it contains the ``secrets of men's clothing.''

The inside of the yoke and flap are lined with synthetic cupra satin, which is smooth and feels great when worn.

This classic ombre check shirt features a monochrome color scheme that was popular back then. It's stylish on its own, but it also makes a great inner layer for a jacket.

Another advantage is that it is made of washable cotton, so you can wash it in your home washing machine.
