There is a unique species of thinker endemic to the East, known for its scintillating prose, lofty vocabulary, bylines in the New Yorker, and dashingly classic style. No, these are no preppy pedants or Cape Cod canoodlers, but rather true intellectuals and literary lions, as understatedly sharp with their wardrobes as they are with their pens. And as a small tribute to all that striking tweed and unabashed plaid, BONOBOS is honored to offer a trio of equally classic tartan shirts - plaid cotton casuals that will weather all fads and trends, be they literary or sartorial, and stay irreproachably stylish well into perpetuity.
Updike
With shirts as with the written word, a subtle hint of color can make a tremendous difference. And you won't need any purple prose when you could have a lavender beauty like the Bonobos Updike. An exquisite plaid enlivened by a festive hue, the Updike is a keeper, to be worn on its own, beneath a woolen sweater, or in partnership with a crisp Harvard tie.
