Blue and White Stripe Button-Down Collar Fob Pocket Shirt

The button-down collar shirt has been part of men's dress for about a century, and it is central to the Drake's range. This version adds a small flapped fob pocket, a detail first made to hold a pocket watch and now just as useful for coins or other small things. It is made in Italy from double-ply, yarn-dyed cotton, with a regular cut, floating interlinings and single-needle stitching. It works with tailoring or on its own.

Thomas Mason Blue Bengal Stripe Broadcloth

We chose a two-ply Thomas Mason broadcloth in a blue and white bengal stripe because it is close to the original's crisp, plain-weave cotton and its striped pattern. We set a soft unlined-style Ivy button-down collar, a front placket, a single flap pocket, one-button cuffs, a curved hem and mother of pearl buttons to match the original's details. Proper Cloth offers no fob pocket or box pleat in this design, so we used a single flap chest pocket and a split yoke instead.

A 100s two-ply cotton broadcloth woven by Thomas Mason, lightweight with a smooth, soft hand, and fairly opaque for a broadcloth. It has blue and white bengal stripes, which are bolder than a fine pinstripe. It presses up crisp and also wears well left a little creased.
