Tom & Boy Blue Check Shirt

A little bit 70s, a little bit American vintage, and a fantastic combination of dusty blue, navy, cream and flashes of orange. Tom & Boy have taken the classic checked flannel shirt and given it their own colourful spin.

Part of the Toy Department AW26 collection, inspired by the world of Charles and Ray Eames, where toys, colour and design were all taken seriously. The collection celebrates the joy of collecting, making things and finding inspiration in the everyday.

The shirt has a relaxed, boxy shape, a pointed collar and cream buttons, with 'Toy Collector' lettering in mustard yellow velvet flocking across the chest. The soft, raised lettering against the traditional check gives it the feel of a vintage find, somewhere between an old American workwear shirt and a treasured piece of 70s children's clothing.

Wear it buttoned up with wide-leg cords or open over a T-shirt, almost like a lightweight jacket. The generous shape works well with oversized trousers and colourful layers.

One for the collectors, the makers and the children who never throw anything away.
