TENDER TYPE 439 STOLE POCKET BUTTERFLY SHIRT WOOL CALICO RINSED

Buttons are real shell interpretations of a standard cats eye button, and the whole garment is sewn with cotton thread.
- Made in USA
- Fabric woven in England
- Rinsed to shrink
- Full pleated cuffs
- Real shell cats eye buttons
- 100% cotton thread shrunk to form puckered seams

Wool Calico is woven in England from fine wool worsted yarn on the same plain weave pattern as the standard Tender cotton calico used for jeans pocket linings. The twist of the yarn causes a subtle diagonal crosshatch texture to develop as the fabric is dyed, worn, and washed.
The name calico entered the English language in the early 16th Century from the city of Kozhikode in South West India, then known as Calicut in English. Calico fabric was often used as a base for elaborately printed dressmaking fabrics- in Britain, calico refers to a plain ecru cloth, while in the US the name generally suggests a printed finished fabric.
