Traveler’s Shirt or Twill Shirt

February 2, 2021 By In Men's Shirts, Men's Clothes No Comments

The Fall/Holiday 1986 catalogues introduced the Egyptian Cotton Twill Shirt, which has a similar look to the Expedition Shirt with its angled chest pockets, but the pockets have a pleat in them and the shirt lacks epaulets. It came in Ivory, Khaki and Navy.

The shirt was rebranded in Summer 1987 as the Egyptian Cotton Twill Traveler’s Shirt using the same artwork and new catalogue copy. It came in Ivory and White and was sold alongside the Traveler’s Sportcoat.

Not sure about the color on this shirt below, but it appears to be a Traveler’s Shirt.
