Lunch at Quo Vadis is a cropped E.M. Reitz shirt celebrating the details of proper shirtmaking. A petite bias binding runs along the feminine jewel neckline, and a twin bias binding circles the armholes, creating a charming and flattering flange at the shoulder. Double shell buttons run down the front of the shirt, serving as functional closures and whimsical decoration. The small tucks in the neckline create room over the bust and shoulder blades without creating volume. The sleeve is long and tubular, ending in a small pleat that tapers at your wrist and closes with double shell buttons. This shirt has internal French seams and a clean turn-back hem that sits at your high hip - ideal for the perfect French tuck in a true-waisted bottom.
Named after my favorite restaurant in London's buzzy Soho neighborhood, this shirt is perfect for an elegant lunch. Order a filet of turbot and a crisp white wine.
With this winning neckline and double button detail, you can go light on jewelry and look polished for your next big presentation.
The shirt is made from the rarest cotton in the world, Sea Island Cotton.
An ancient fiber grown exclusively in Barbados and Jamaica, Sea Island Cotton is strong, fine, and soft. Its average staple fiber length is 37mm, considered an "Extra-Long Staple," creating the softest, smoothest cotton cloth you can find.
This exceptional cotton, blended with silk, is woven by the prestigious mill David and John Anderson. The historical Scottish mill, now owned and operated in Italy, is renowned for its extraordinary raw materials and meticulous attention to technical innovation in weaving. A tag noting this mill is sewn in the underside of the placket.
