Did you know that khakis, long before Jim Harbaugh tragically wore them as bloomers, were actually a form of camouflage in colonial India?
True story.
Bringing that heritage back: The Tea Label, an updated line of relaxed button-downs, wovens and, yes, contemporarized khakis, available now from the heritage line Bills Khakis.
The Tea Label — named after the dying process used by British soldiers in the 1840s — is a perfect base for your spring sojourns.
Think soft, textured cotton. Trim fits. Modest price point.
In other words: great for boating. Casual office Fridays. More casual after-office anydays.
Some we like:
- A line of muted, washed down Asbury Check Shirts
- Chamois Cloth pants, a.k.a. refined, soft twill chinos
- Striped, leisure-oriented Oxfords
Plus colorful micro-ribbed polos, madras long-sleeves, sun-bleached twill pants, canvas shorts, slub cotton pullovers and more.
Time to get comfy.
