J.Crew "Indyish" Camp Shirt

Post by independent »

Not exactly screen-accurate, but probably a lot more comfortable and practical in the summer.

In it's item description:
"100s two-ply cotton poplin. Tailored fit."

Nice, two things I really like about it.

I own one of those shirts. Their great shirts, but I wouldn't categorize it as "Indy" just because it has flaps on the pockets.

I would order one to keep as white and then see how long it fits, then order another one to cut off part of the shirttail to make epaulets and dye the more Indyish color. But the Cabelas still works fine for me...

I just picked up a nice linen shirt at Old Navy for $20 and it is so comfy. double pocket no epulets and it's short sleeve. Not at all accurate but with the matching shorts I picked up my son mentioned how it looked very Indy.

Does it say "made in India" on the tag inside the collar? I bought two great dress-ish shirts at Old Navy a while back that were linen and are great to wear to semi-dressy occasions. Right nice shirt, if I do say so, which I do.

Mine says made in China. It's an island linen blend. 55%linen 45% cotton. With the cotton it doesn't wrinkle as bad as regular linen.

It looks very much like this one. Same price too. It's not an accurate shirt like I said but does have that Indy look and feel. It was 108 and up this weekend and the shirt took the heat like a champ and kept me cool. :wink:
