“Ideal for outdoor wear with slacks is this attractive summer shirt in two-colour stripes. The neat revers and collar are edged with dark wool, and fastened with four buttons.”

“Cool and smart for summer wear, the neat crisp effect of this attractive jumper is obtained by combining dark wool with chalk white boucle. Trimly tailored in a rib stitch, it can be worn with either tweeds, slacks, or tailored suit.”
