90-Degree Shirt

These shirts were only offered in Fall 1988.

From the catalogue: “We used all the right angles to create a boxed-plaid shirt of the coolest Indian cotton. The subdued plaids will please eyes eager for autumn’s rich, muted shades. The smooth, airy fabric will please skin seeking shelter from an early-autumn heat wave. Both fabric and colors have been further refined by gentle garment washing. A shirt to be worn whenever a high degree of comfort is required.”
