Serengeti Shirt

Debuting in the Spring 1985 Catalogue: “Graceful styling and soft, drapy fabric belie the fact that this shirt is as enduring as the Serengeti itself. The cloth is overdyed, 100% cotton chambray–the same sturdy chambray fine workshirts are made of–dyed khaki and washed so it has the broken-in feel of a favorite workshirt, but the elegant, airy look of challis.”

Originally sold only in Khaki, other colors (Natural, Bleached Blue, Faded Sage, Mulberry) were added in Fall 1985.
