Story

Trekking across the globe and living out of a backpack, you quickly discover the definition of necessity. Useful items live at the top of the pack while the superfluous are demoted to the bottom. A warm layer for cold weather, your favorite hat, a travel journal - all items stored for easy access. One particular necessity is the "nice shirt." The uniform reserved for conversations over a meal or any occasion where your faded t-shirt won’t suffice. This shirt has traveled the world with you, lived the experiences and learned the lessons. This shirt is the traveler's faithful necessity. Our Traveler shirt is part of our new collection of washed casual shirts. This shirt has a casual, small point collar and a single breast pocket with a pen holder.

This Traveler shirt is cut from a blue, yellow plaid poplin fabric.

Fabric

 is a particular variety that is grown in only a few other places. It is renowned as some of the best in the world. It has an extra long staple, which means it has longer fibers, resulting in a silkier, more durable fabric. Poplin, sometimes called broadcloth, is a plain weave which means the threads alternately cross over and then under each other. This results in a very smooth and durable fabric that has an almost silky hand feel, particularly with higher thread counts. Also, poplins look very crisp when ironed.
