Chemise Nationale Wabash Workshirt


Another great item from the National Anthem camp is this wabash workshirt. I've mentioned before that wabash is a nice alternative to chambray and not as common. This one is more affordable than the ones I posted before and it's made in Canada to boot. Now that the weather is starting to cool this would be a great addition to any wardrobe. Available through Rakuten.

Pickup: National Anthem Sailor Shirt

I've mentioned National Anthem before and now that Inventory is stocking a few of their pieces I was able to get my hands on the Sailor Shirt. It's based on the classic breton shirt but rather than a wider cut boat neck it has a crew neck. The medium weight cotton will work nicely for the summer months and I look forward to tossing it on with some nantucket reds and boat shoes.

National Anthem

After reading the new Free & Easy I was reminded of Canadian brand National Anthem, which is made in Vancouver and they make a great assortment of basics in all sorts of materials that I like, taking inspiration from nautical and military styles. Unfortunately, the line is only available in Japan. They also have a couple sub brands, Nomadic and Chemise Nationale, the latter being a line of shirts inspired by early 20th century North American lifestyles. The prices still are very reasonable for a Canadian made product sold in Japan. I for one may be looking into finding a proxy to get a few of these items. Below are just a few of the products that they produce ranging from tops to bottoms to collaborations with Yuketen for footwear. Hopefully someone starts to carry this line in North America soon...
