Fine things: Filson 'Black Label'



 
















Filson 891SS Italia Historic Shirt 

The latest purchase from Oi Polloi, and by far the best shirt I've seen currently available. Ok, it's yet another Chambray, however I think you can still get away with 'double denim' if you can look a bit messy with it. Filson's hunting shirt is based on the original design submitted by CC Filson March 3, 1914. The detail is nice, with four functional pockets closed by flaps and beautifully signed buttons, a curved hem with frayed side seam insert and a three button throat tab. Made in Italy and as homage to this carries their black label - a real wardrobe staple.
