If you’ve ever wanted to dress like menswear style icon Paul Newman, today is your lucky day. I present to you The Real McCoy’s Cotton Pile Skipper shirt.
Based on classic resort-wear sported in the ‘30s and ‘50s, The Real McCoy’s has gone to painstaking lengths – as always – to recreate a summertime classic. Cut in Japan from a 100% cotton terrycloth, the shirt features a single chest pocket, an open placket with collar, and a relaxed fit.
The piece, while typically viewed as casualwear, is pretty versatile. On the one hand, the highly absorbent terry fabric makes it perfect for chucking on for a bite to eat after a dip in the pool, but, on the other, the flowy silhouette and smart open collar make it easy to dress up for lunch at the port. Pair it with a pair of straight-fit linen pants and a pair of penny loafers and you’ve got yourself a James Bond villain fit, ladies and gentlemen.
The shirt comes in three distinct, garment-dyed colorways: red, white and blue, each equally ready to be the skipper of your summer wardrobe.
Available for $277 at Clutch Cafe.
