'Keepsake' Shirt in Vintage Cream Wool — Size M
'Keepsake' Shirt in Vintage Cream Wool — Size M
In keeping with our Valentine’s tradition, we’re pleased to offer a 1-of-1 ‘Keepsake’ Shirt, cut from a soft, airy vintage wool and adorned with overshot coverlet accents.
The ‘Keepsake’ Shirt features an open collar reminiscent of those found in midcentury menswear. We loved how the exaggerated points lent themselves to the shape of the heart, which inspired three applique hearts to be nestled inside the stitchline—two on the front and one in the back.
With no stains or holes to fix, the shirt’s soft cream wool offered an entire field for placing a few additional overshot hearts. At our discretion, two are stitched floating on the back, and naturally, one on the sleeve. The trimmed pocket and hem anchor the silhouette.
Last year’s ‘Keepsake’ Coat beheld mending as an act of love; taking spots of wear or loss and transforming them into moments of beauty. This year’s shirt highlights the other side, joining together the same precious textiles to celebrate what’s still there.
