Item No. 80510011202
Colour : Camel / Grey

Nigel Cabourn's summer staple, the "OPEN COLLAR SHIRT".
With the wide open neckline and airy boxy silhouette, it's so comfortable that you'll think "this is all I need for the summer."
As part of the HIGH SUMMER COLLECTION, we will be launching a new version of this OPEN COLLAR SHIRT that adds military elements.
This unique item is a combination of the M-43 HBT JACKET used by the US Army, and an open-collar shirt design.
The M-43 HBT JACKET is one of the most iconic items developed by the US ARMY.
Not only is it popular in the vintage market, but many manufacturers are sampling it due to its high fashionability.
The M-43 was created in response to a request from then US President Roosevelt who asked for "a work uniform with an attractive design to help recruit new soldiers."
This is one of the reasons why he was highly popular among the soldiers.
This is the original M-43 HBT JACKET.
This new product reflects the design of this vintage shirt, with large flap pockets on both sides of the chest, which is the M-43's greatest feature.
At the time, the chest pocket was made larger to accommodate more items, but today it is loved by clothing lovers as an eye-catching design.
The fabric is a "bowling rayon."
As the name suggests, this rayon material is based on the fabric composition of bowling shirts seen in the 1950s.
This fabric makes use of a technique called interweaving, in which rayon filament yarn is used for the warp yarn and spun yarn is used for weft yarn. Unlike typical fabric designs, this interwoven weave creates a rich, uneven appearance. This specially developed rayon fabric is pigment dyed to give it a faded look.
This fabric is so tough that you might doubt that it is rayon, so be sure to check it out.
You will see something new that you have never experienced before with Nigel Cabourn.

The pockets add a nice detail to this shirt.
The idea of incorporating military design alongside the use of rayon material is very Nigel Cabourn-like.
The wide boxy silhouette allows for good ventilation.
It would also look good if worn open at the front, like a military jacket.
It's so popular that it's already out of stock in the online store, so if you're interested, feel free to contact your nearest store.
We look forward to your visit and inquiries.
