Desert General's Alta California Shirt / Chambray, is inspired by the camp collar shirt, a style popular in early California, where casual dressing for warm weather was necessary. Hollywood embraced this style, along with ranchers, surfers, and many visitors to the West. This shirt has been seen on some of America’s most iconic male characters, including James Bond, JFK, Elvis, Hemingway, and Martin Luther King Jr. This shirt takes also its cue from the iconic style worn by Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) in the classic TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive.
Details:
Cut loose, allowing for freedom of movement and for the air to circulate around the body, and has a straight hem, allowing the shirt to be worn untucked, or open over a tee for a different styling choice.
Open collar with a button and loop. This is a collar that fixes directly to the body of the shirt rather than sitting on a collar stand. This configuration allows the collar to sit lower on the neck, making it more comfortable for the wearer especially in hot weather.
Buttoned flap pockets, complete with a pen slot on the left, perfect for stashing notes and essentials—so handy you could run a business straight from your pockets.
Fabric is 100% cotton Indigo Chambray, dark finish
