The Shetland jumper.

The Noguchi Museum

Three new (old) friends “popped over” just in time for summer. I cannot wait to wear these.

Valentine’s Day looked like: BB Makers pink OCBD + Old LE Shetland (purply heatherish) + battered Bills. Just add Thai food.

It’s raining in NYC and I wish I had mine.

(HTJ Archives) Tartan Fun Shirts. Brooks Brothers began to offer tartan fun shirts around 1987 or so, made from Buchanan, Black Watch, Gordon, MacDonald, and Royal Stewart tartans. The construction of this version of the fun shirt was pretty much the same as the bold stripe version. This means that the linings of the collar, neck band, shoulder yoke, cuff plackets, and cuffs were all made with a contrasting tartan. A lot of work would have gone into these shirts and they remain the best of the lot. The four shirt photo (bottom to top) contains these: c.1987, c.1990, c.1993, and a Huntington version c.1990s. The first version (c.1987) of this shirt was probably made in the old Paterson, NJ factory, before it was closed and manufacturing contracted to outside vendors. On all of the Brooks Brothers versions, the collar and the front placket were made from the same tartan. Like a lot of good things, these aren’t available anymore, but they were perfect with a sweater, quiet herringbone tweed, or a blue flannel blazer.
