If you spend enough time in airports, dining cars, cabs, hotels or flea markets in Southern France you tend to have a short fuse for fussy clothing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good kilt just as much as the next man, but there is a time and place. We all want to look good but there are days-the dog days, if you will (they aren't just for summer)-when starchy cotton or itchy wool makes you downright angry. You want something that feels nice. That moves with you. Something dressy but not too dressy. Something that, perhaps, you might find Robert Mitchum wearing in his study while he looks over your novel and occasionally stokes an embered log in his blue stone hearth. "What's the verdict, Bob?" "Well, John, not bad." Yes. Something like that. The Micro Houndstooth Casual Shirt (No. 5172). 100% cotton with a brushed finish for undeniable comfort. Point collar with removable stays.
