Love it or leave it...

This is a crazy shirt from International Laundry. It is argue-
ably the wildest shirt
at Outlander. It has also been our fastest selling since it arrived, and is being reordered. As you can see, it's seriously distressed looking, and each one is slightly different. The details are amazing.  Warp yarns are snipped and pulled out, resulting in little red squares bordered by tufts of blue. The collar and cuffs are lined with gingham, echoing the pattern of the shirt.  A multicolored tape runs the length of the inside placket and borders the cuff and sleeve. The fabric inside the shirt is a shiny bluish-red, with red squares from where the blue yarn was cut and pulled. You can turn the cuff up once to reveal the gingham and colored tape, or go one step further to show the inside of the sleeve.  It's fun, but not for everyone!
