THE KRAMDEN SHIRT: If there is a stripe in my line, you know I must really like it

I admit that I am a print-addict, so I was a little surprised at how I have gravitated to this stripe so strongly.

It's kind of nice to be excited by a new thing.

The fabric's sharp contrast between the white & blue makes it sharper than your average stripe.

But if you look closely at the blue; it looks like denim to me. The way the yarns weave together creates a textured, slightly less rigid version of a stripe.

That's what probably what makes this shirt such an easy wear: it's sharp enough to be dressed up but it's denim-like vibe makes it perfect for playtime too :)

Fabric Made In Japan. Garment Made in USA

100% cotton, trimmed with natural buttons and navy herringbone tape. 

I live for making shirts & I am a real fanatic about it. So much detail & care has been put into the making of each Blade Blue piece. I want this to be your new favorite shirt.

What Makes a Blade Blue Shirt So Special? 

- MADE IN USA: Blade Blue shirts are made in limited runs here in the USA. I work with master craftsmen whose family has been making shirts since the 1950's. 

- TOP OF THE LINE FABRIC:  Blade Blue sources premium Japanese fabrics from some of the finest textile mills in the world.

- A GREAT FIT:  I set out to create a shirt that was both comfortable & flattering. No more feeling like you are stuffed into a super-skinny fit or feeling frumpy in a big, boxy fit. The Blade Blue cut was designed to provide room for comfort in key areas like the chest & shoulders but is then slightly nipped at the waist to give you a most flattering shape. You will also notice that the lengths of Blade Blue shirts are designed to make you look great tucked in or out. Please take a look at our FIT GUIDE for more specific measurement information.

- 'NITTY-GRITTY' GOOD STUFF: Let me share a few more details that make the Blade Blue extra cool:

• Collar Shape: Nothing is worse than seeing an otherwise handsome shirt ruined by a big, floppy collar. The wrong collar shape can instantly ruin your look. I have slightly trimmed the height on Blade Blue collars, then created a semi-spread shape for a very sharp & modern effect.
• Placket Construction: The slimmer center placket shape of the Blade Blue shirt is sewn in with a stitch right at the edge of the placket. This technique creates a more streamlined look and eliminates the distracting, 'rumpled' effect that occurs with most other shirts.
