Whether you like it or not, the button-down/layering season is fast approaching. Summer for me was an absolute myth, but the prospect of more layers has got me hyped as always -my wallet, not so much. Corridor NYC must have seen me coming as their Fil Coupe Fall Stripe Longsleeve shirt looks to be the perfect way to start my unjustified (but justified) spending. These are made in the brand’s partner workshop in India from 100% cotton Fil Coupe.

To the untrained eye —mine included— this just looks to be a fly regular fit shirt with a standout conversation-starting pattern and a fancy name, but Fil Coupe fabrics actually incorporate small jacquard patterns where the threads are cut on the backside to create a unique frayed finish hidden underneath, a glorious detail that you can keep to yourself or expose with a sleeve roll—either way, the spending just got justified!

Available now from Corridor NYC priced at $148
