Assured Top-Inkstone Blue

Ink and cream, held in fine vertical order.

The Assured Top is a sleeveless cotton shirt that keeps all of its detail in the cloth. Narrow vertical bands of diamonds, chevrons and dotted lines run the length of the body, and a wider geometric border band crosses the garment just above the hem.

Inkstone Blue takes a deep indigo ground and lifts it with cream and a warm rust accent, so the pattern reads dark from a distance and opens up close.

The cut is sleeveless and easy, with a small stand collar that opens into a soft notch and a front placket of pale tonal buttons running to the hem. The curved, hip-length hem sits well tucked or left out.

• Breathable cotton in an all-over woven geometric stripe
• Deep indigo ground lifted with cream and a warm rust accent
• Sleeveless, with a small stand collar that opens into a soft notch
• Full-length front placket with pale tonal buttons
• A wider geometric border band running across the garment above the hem
• Curved shirt-tail hem, hip length and easy over trousers

• Wear it out over ivory trousers so the indigo reads clean against the cream.
• Tuck it into white denims for a crisp, uncomplicated summer look.
• Layer it under a plain jacket and let only the collar and placket show.

Assurance is quiet: it simply wears well.
