Proletarian Shirt

From the Fall 1988 Catalogue: “Corduroy (cord du roi in French) was created just for kings, but this shirt is made of more robust, plebeian stuff–its aristocracy is born of honest labor. The fabric’s sturdy, low-profile ridges give it the softness and look of corduroy, but make it gutsy enough to engage in hard work without balding. The fit is generous for comfort and easy movement, and the sturdy sleeves are double-stitched from two pieces, allowing for vigorous arm-wrestling. A cozy, down-to-earth shirt designed to last til kingdom come.”
