This preppy patchwork classic is seeing a resurgence this summer. The story goes that on a visit to one of his company’s shirt factories in the 1970s, Ash Wall, the vice president and great-great-great-grandson of Brooks Brothers founder Henry Sand Brooks, picked up a "training shirt:" a shirt made by factory trainees using mismatched scraps of fabric. Wall reportedly tried one on and commented: "These are some fun shirts.”
Here is the picks of the best of SS20: The French brand, De Fursac, calls it, ‘La Fun Shirt’, while the American brand, Rowing Blazers, continues to reinvent preppy with their stripey number, and our homegrown Drake’s is proudly handcrafted in Somerset, UK.
