Good Timing.

These shirts caught my eye at an estate sale on Grahampton Lane in Greenwich.

I’m on the lookout for anything interesting, not expecting to be drawn in by shirting.

The stripes are respectable and well-pedigreed, as you’d expect, but they feel fresh. The collar, substantial, structured with real confidence.

Another gentleman reaches toward the stack a quarter-second after I’ve whisked them away.

Don't they say timing is everything?

The Connecticut Shirt (No. J8045). The one shirt to anchor all your favorite blazers and sweaters this season. We improved an already-superior shirt by combining sublime cotton with a touch of nylon and spandex to make it an especially easy-wearing staple. Four-hole mother-of-pearl buttons at center placket, neck, sleeve plackets, and cuffs. Button-down collar. Lightweight fusible interfacing at sleeve cuffs, undercollar, and center placket. Imported.
