Prince of Wales Shirt

From Spring 1986: “A shirt is subjected to merciless appraisal before we make it a traveling companion. Is the fabric warm enough for an unexpected scirocco? Will the shoulders bear the strain of straps? Can the shirt be worn over and over without looking like it slept in train stations? Our Prince of Wales shirt answers every question in the affirmative. The tissue-weight, lightly brushed cotton feels soft on the skin, is virtually weightless in baggage, and spans the seasons. Covered shoulder pads make light of your load. and the discreet check pattern–the red line indicates its royal origins–cleverly conceals the dust of the road.”
