Most men who want to wear something interesting end up talking themselves out of it before they even get to the till. Too loud. Too much. Where would I even wear it. The problem is usually not the ambition, it’s the execution. A shirt with genuine artistic credibility is a specific thing. It’s not a novelty print or something that looks like it belongs on a cruise ship. It’s considered. The artwork or pattern has been placed properly, the fabric can carry it, and the cut is clean enough that the shirt does the work without the whole outfit tipping into costume. We’ve been looking specifically for shirts where the design has a point of view and the construction backs it up. Statement without being silly. These work with tailored trousers for an opening or exhibition, and equally well with dark denim when the occasion is more relaxed. Getting dressed should occasionally be more interesting than this. These shirts make the argument well.
