Kalahari Shirt
This handsome women’s shirt was only sold in the Summer of 1986: “When the rains return to the Kalahari, so do the elephants, springbuck, zebra, wildebeest–and then the carnivores who hunt them. For this inhospitable “desert” becomes a breifly blooming paradise when the hot dry winter ends. Our Kalahari Shirt is at home in such terrain. Short-sleeved, pleated in the back for ease of movement, made of tough, tightly woven 100% cotton, it can be tucked into trousers, worn loose with shorts, belted over skirts, thrown unbuttoned over tank tops. For certain women–with itineraries as rich and varied as the Kalahari–it’s as basic as summer rain.”
