I hope that anyone who read the last installment visited the New England Shirt Company website. This idea that good shirts and pants can still be made in America lives on through people with a sense of quality and solid design. Having said that I would like to expand on this idea to include some other domestically made menswear that we presently include in our americana assortment. This offering includes Oxxford Clothing, Gitman Vintage shirts, Hamilton Made to Measure shirts, Barbara Blank neck wear , and Hertling trousers and vests. Each of these offers a high price value relationship along with a fashion perspective that is concurrent with a modern interpretation of the market. Let's talk about these starting with Oxxford Clothing.
Along with the classic Finest Quality collection,which is all made by hand, the addition of the 1220 collection has reached out to a larger audience with updated styling and lower price points. Updates include higher arm holes, more waist suppression, narrowed point to point, shorter jackets and slimmer pants. At the lower cost the jacket retains all of the hand made features except the hand padded lapel and handmade buttonholes. The main difference in this collection is the pant which is engineered rather than hand made. 1220 is approximately 30% less than the Finest Quality. So if you are looking for modern styling and a more affordable price 1220 is a really excellent opportunity. If you are interested in all handmade clothing and price is not part of your equation then the Finest Quality is an exceptional garment. Below is a link to the website which deals with the Finest Quality only. Both segments of the line are offered as "off the rack" or "made to measure."
