Khaki Corduroy Camp Collar Long Sleeve Shirt

Drake's offers a long-sleeved camp collar shirt in soft cotton needlecord, a newer take on the relaxed open-collared shirt. It is cut loose, with a plain front and a straight hem so it can be worn untucked, and it has two patch chest pockets with rounded flaps. The shirt is made in Somerset, England, and finished with mother of pearl buttons. It works as a shirt on its own or as a light layer over a T-shirt.

Ketchum Olive Cotton Corduroy

We chose a fine 20-wale olive cotton corduroy because it is the closest available match to the original's soft needlecord and its olive to dark green colour. We set a French front, rounded flap chest pockets, a straight hem, single-button barrel cuffs and mother of pearl buttons to follow the original's details. Proper Cloth does not offer a true camp collar, so we used its soft one-piece collar, the nearest open-collar option, and kept the construction soft to preserve the relaxed feel.

A 100% cotton 20-wale corduroy woven in Spain. The weave gives it some natural stretch without any added elastane. It is plain olive with a fine rib that reads as a solid colour from a distance. Proper Cloth lists it as heavyweight, but its hand is lighter and softer than most corduroy, closer to a soft twill, so it can be worn for three seasons.
