Made of imported, pre-shrunk cotton fabric, this red gingham shirt features a pointed collar with buttons at center back and the points, a 1-1/4 inch, seven button front placket, a single chest pocket, and a fabric lot stamp printed on the lower left, near the hem. The back hosts a straight yoke with center tucks and hanging loop, the sleeves have 2-1/4 inch, two-button cuffs, the left of which has a Gant insignia embroidered on the placket. Bernard Gant moved from Ukraine to America in 1914 and settled into Manhattan's Garment district. The industrious immigrant felt that this was the time and place to shape his American dream. He began producing iconic pieces for the ivy league just as the university style was catching on. In 1973 Bernard's sons launched "Rugger by Gant" and took the rugby look off the field and into the arms of a generation of reckless youth. Today, Swedish born head designer Christopher Bastin designs with Gant's extensive archives close to heart. His spin on ivy league style produces a very classic, highly accessible American preppy image.
