<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />Yuichi Takagi, Sub Shop Manager at 'THE ARMY GYM'<br />"The fabric feels autumnal, and I've paired a two-piece tweed suit in a calm monotone with a distinctive shirt underneath to create contrast. While a plain shirt would be a safe choice, it might be too neat, so I've added a patterned one for a playful touch."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />Yuichi Takagi, Sub Shop Manager at 'THE ARMY GYM'<br />Military Peacoat ¥79,800, British Officer Shirt ¥19,950, Fatigue Pants ¥25,200 (all Nigel Cabourn), Boots (Check) ¥82,950 (Yuketen × Nigel Cabourn) - All available at THE ARMY GYM Tel. 03-3770-2186

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />Yuichi Takagi, Sub Shop Manager at 'THE ARMY GYM'<br />"Since the shirt is blue, I've matched it with navy bottoms and coat for a coordinated, all-blue look. By not adding any extraneous colors and sticking to a single tone, the outfit achieves a much calmer, more mature impression."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />Yuichi Takagi, Sub Shop Manager at 'THE ARMY GYM'<br />"Coordinating in similar tones, like red and camel, is a style we recommend to customers in the store as well. While they appear as distinct colors on their own, both belong to the same color family, which is why they combine so harmoniously."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"Nigel Cabourn's highly anticipated new shirt will begin its pre-sale on November 3rd (Thursday) at Nigel Cabourn stores and the online shop 'rumors'!"

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"Honestly, developing the yarn took years (laughs). Of course, there were countless failures. But even with that much investment, I wanted to propose something with absolute value."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"One aspect is the overwhelmingly different material. Furthermore, precise calculations were essential during the weaving stage regarding the density of the weave. The fabric created through this sophisticated design fully showcases the inherent beauty of cotton, possessing a crispness and a natural luster."<br />British Officer Shirt ¥19,950

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"Typically, Oxford shirts undergo surface treatment to achieve luster and crispness. In other words, they are plated. This shirt has absolutely no such finishing."<br />British Officer Shirt ¥19,950

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"In fact, this shirt takes four months to produce. We cannot pre-make the fabric. This is because, as this shirt does not undergo surface treatment, the shrinkage rate of the woven fabric varies subtly with each batch, necessitating adjustments in the sewing process for each batch."<br />British Officer Shirt ¥23,100

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />This is highly inefficient by conventional production and sales standards. However, the aim is to ensure that the silhouette remains unchanged for the customer, three or five years from now. This durability is pursued through the quality of the fabric and the meticulousness of the sewing.

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"The design details are based on the uniforms of British officers from the 1940s. The longer length and significantly curved hem are a direct reproduction of an idea from that era, conceived to prevent the shirt from coming untucked when worn inside trousers, as officers considered it improper for their shirt to be visible."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"While it's common today to wear shirts untucked, even in that case, the silhouette of this shirt possesses a distinct individuality compared to others."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"Actually, the collar is button-down. Normally, the buttonholes go through the collar itself, but on this shirt, two layers of fabric are used for the collar, with the button concealed within."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />"The roots of the button-down shirt lie in casual American sportswear. As this shirt is British-based, we've adopted only the functional aspect of the button-down for a more dressy finish."

<strong>Nigel Cabourn | Nigel Cabourn: Meticulously Developed Shirt 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' Pre-sale Begins!</strong><br />To commemorate the pre-sale, a novelty campaign is underway! At 'THE ARMY GYM - Nigel Cabourn FLAGSHIP STORE' and other Nigel Cabourn stores, customers who spend ¥31,500 or more will receive a leather keychain as a novelty gift. On the online shop 'rumors', customers who purchase the 'BRITISH OFFICERS SHIRT' will also receive a leather keychain. Novelties are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to act fast!
