Lusting After: Ovadia & Sons Short Sleeve Oxford

There is a lot going on with this shirt (made in the USA for anyone keeping score) - Japanese oxford cloth, short sleeves, contrast collar, plaid.  Normally when you combine this many elements together at once things tend to get out of hand, but in this case Ovadia & Sons has created a short sleeve shirt that's actually easier to wear versus you normal, let's say, white short sleeve button down.  Most people detest the short sleeve button down because it conjures up images of IT workers and paper pushers who have never bothered with anything even remotely stylish in their entire life.  In the case of this shirt I believe that the variety of elements comes together to create a shirt that while being inherently "complicated" is still really easy to wear.  Pair it with chinos or khaki shorts and you're done.  This shirt is begging to be the focal point of a warm weather kit and if you let it do just that you're golden.  I love the pattern most of all and it's cool to see someone do plaid oxford cloth for a change.  There is no word on pricing yet or where O&S is gonna be stocked, but as soon as those details emerge you will see them over here. Trust.
