My favorite shirt mother tuckers

Read it again ….tuckers. I’ve been in this clothing game almost 50 years. And yes in almost all circumstances the rule of thumb is to tuck a shirt in. This business of buying shirts to leave untucked is a fad. But there is one type of shirt that while it can be tucked in was truly designed to not be. The camp shirt. The camp shirt has some distinguishing features. Primarily it has no placket, it has a loose pointed collar and should have a little loop for buttoning it closed at the top which never happens and most importantly it was designed with a square bottom to leave untucked.OOTN: My Orvis blue silk shirt has all these features. It also has game fish sewn into the design as well the embroidered fisherman on the back. I threw on British khakis denim colored Sperry topsiders my Orvis watch and my Brighton fly fishing belt. several of our close friends for 20 years (our kids went to school together) met at my eye doctor’s new home for a party. Regarding the tucking, we always used to say. You have to know the rules to have the right to break the rules. Had a great time letting the tails fly free.
