Meridian Shirt

From the Summer 1988 Catalogue: “Like the meridian (longitude) lines on the map, the stripes woven into our crisp poplin shirt run straight and true. The smooth, tightly woven cotton remains unflappable even when the sun’s at its meridian (noon); the styling is classic enough for London, on the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude), yet comfortable enough for tropical Midway on the International Dateline Meridian (180° longitude). Best of all, this is a shirt cut roomy enough to accommodate one’s personal longitude…and latitude.”

Robyn’s fascination with Banana Republic began in 1984 when her Alaskan adventurer father began buying their clothing and giving her their catalogs. She loved the clothes, and as an artist, she was drawn to the illustrations. Robyn went on to study illustration at an art college in Banana Republic’s hometown of San Francisco, CA, and she worked for years as a background artist for animation. She is now based in Oakland, CA and works as a graphic designer and illustrator. She has been collecting and archiving at Abandoned Republic since 2011.
