The Shaftsbury Shirt is our take on a classic “camp shirt”, its name being a nod to Lake Shaftsbury, Vermont, where I spent countless days during the summer as a kid splashing around, hiking, exploring, playing field games, building sand castles, and frequenting the snack shack, of course. Want to hear about my summer camp adventures? Well, that’s a story for another day.
This short sleeved, but not too short to cuff, if that’s your jam, shirt features a vintage floral tablecloth that is 100% cotton. It has a three vintage button closure, with an open collar, a boxy fit, and slightly curved back hem (1” longer in the center back).
As this is made from a vintage tablecloth that has lived a full life before becoming a piece of wearable art, it is possible it show it's age in the form of some discolorations and wear to some of the fabrics - this tablecloth in particular is is very good condition aside from a two quarter-sized spots photographed on the back. These areas are viewed not as defects, but merely giving it character and a nod to it's past life. Please review the photos as returns are not accepted.
