“Vespertine” is based on the Latin “vespertīnus,” meaning “evening.” Casual elegance is what this shirt is about, with a dash of the exotic. The fabric’s mix of silk and cotton lends it a luxurious hand feel and a nice drape, without the preciousness of an all-silk garment. It’s 
practical, too: lightweight and matte, not shiny. Meanwhile, the denser ikat pattern gives it 
an ornamental flair, adding to its appeal as an evening shirt for summerhouse cocktail parties and palace hotels. Antique copper buttons. Classic fit. 60% silk, 40% cotton. Hand wash or dry clean. Imported.
