This is the Gitman Vintage Japanese Dobby Stripe Shirt in blue, where the stripe is woven into the fabric on a dobby loom rather than printed, giving a tonal, textured pattern that catches the light. The Japanese cotton is soft with a quiet depth to the surface.
It reads as a solid from a distance and reveals its texture up close, which makes it flexible — dressed up under a jacket or worn casually with chinos. The woven pattern will not fade or wash out the way a print can.
Gitman Vintage shirts are cut and sewn in Ashland, Pennsylvania, where the Gitman family has been making American dress and sport shirts since 1978.
