U16 - Clay Utility Poplin
'Clay Utility Poplin'

I'm not ashamed to say I wept a little when this fabric landed. 1000 perfect ways to frame a face, and this, the king of them all.  It's crisp, it's dense, it's so delicately textured; it's a micro-grosgrain woven from earth by Athena herself, and we stone washed it into soft submission. We call it CLAY UTILITY POPLIN - a robust evolution of our love of touch. You won't believe it's yours.

The floating interlining is sturdy in that old fashioned way; firm between thumb + finger, but oh-so pliable and ready to play, rolling gracefully at the most subdued hint of manipulation. You just wait until you wash it!

Oh, and in case you haven't yet met, the Come Up To The Studio shirt is our brand ambassador. Embodying the fit, feel, repose, + relaxation of L.E.J. It's a formal shirt in a casual body. It is full, and the pattern-making ergonomically square. By goodness gracious, this is the way to wear fabric.

UNI-FORM. Because we need only one.
