Astor Red on Blue Check Fabric

$125

Made in one of our silkiest broadcloth qualities, this check has an incredible amount of detail in it. While it looks like a subtle blue business check from a distance, the closer you get the more interesting it becomes. It's woven with a unique 90's single ply yarn that gives the fabric the super smooth handfeel. We love how the red overcheck adds just a bit of color that keeps the pattern looking fun without being too bold for a conservative office. Keep in mind that lighter weight, high thread count broadcloth fabrics like this can be more prone to wrinkling, so those who prefer not to press their shirts might find this fabric more difficult to care for. We suggest going for a more office appropriate collar like our President Spread or English Spread, and try a two button cuff for a more dressy look.
