Haight and Ashbury has been a fan favorite of the store since the beginning – offering great styling, impeccable workmanship at affordable prices (his shirts were usually all below $100). Over the years the collection has expanded to include vests, sportcoats, pants and accessories.
Eco, the creative director, who was born in East Africa, spent his formative years in London, England and you can really see the British influence coming through in his collection. Inspired by visits to his friends country estates and remembering the sharply dressed men in warm tweeds, rich cords and sturdy fabrics from his youth. Think country squire meets the modern man with updated silhouettes and outstanding details (leather trims, contrast fabrics).
Guys are loving our new batch of Gotstyle shirts – we trimmed the fit even more so you don’t get that excess back fabric that we sometimes had to dart in more for guys.
Now guys are trying them on and can’t believe how great they fit! Come in and try them on for yourself.
Three more swatches are available in addition to the ones listed above!
Gotstyle dress shirts, $165 Our in-house dress shirts will give you that in-between season pick up that you need – fabrics are light weight enough to wear now, in colors that will take you into the Fall. The fit? Of course they are darted in the back for a trim fit but not so trim that you can’t wear them to work. Priced at $165. |

You know I’m a huge fan of getting guys to tuck in their shirts in when they go out a night (it’s a more sophisticated and neater look), but I will admit that when it’s hot like this outside… it’s OK to un-tuck your shirt. Provided that’s it’s meant to do so, meaning it’s a shorter cut shirt (so it doesn’t hang past your ass), it should have a finishing detail on the side and should be more of a looser relaxed cut.
Don’t get me wrong – I meant loose, not boxy. What’s the diff? Loose will allow some air circulation so you don’t have too much fabric touching your skin (icky, especially when you start to sweat), but the garment will still have some shape to it. Boxy is just boxy with no shape to it!
We’ve got some new shirts in from Haight & Ashbury, John Varvatos and Luke Simon (new NY-based designer) that have been approved for un-tucking. Do not try this at home with your regular dress shirts please!
