Bushman’s Shirt

Debuting in the Fall 1985 Catalogue: “For trekking the Outback, adventurous Aussies like to rely on the durability of tough cotton twill. But most twill, until washed a few times, feels stiff. How to improve on a good thing? Weave a 100% cotton gabardine–a twill so fine it soothes the skin. Then pre-wash it for superior softness. The fabric is a thought from the fastidious French; Uncle Sam’s brilliant tailors, we’re proud to say, inspired the detailing. A A truly international shirt that brings portable luxury wherever your travels may take you.”
