This fall Gant has given an eco spin on the patchwork preppy classic. Just as old school items, according to Paul Winston of Chipp, were often made from scraps of old cloth, Gant’s new limited-edition, one-of-a-kind shirts are “upcycled” from fabric shirtings in the company’s archives.
To purchase a shirt — which manages to be both on-trend and vaguely good for the environment — you’ll need to piece together $185. — CC
I believe the people at Gant have lost their minds.

Is it 4/1/18 already?
I checked the Gant website and discovered something called Tech Prep. “Preppy” shirts that don’t wrinkle and wick sweat from your body. As a marathon runner who owns technical sweat wicking shirts, you will surely be mistaken for a Frenchman if you wear these shirts.

@sacksuit Why Frenchman?
On the bright side, if you click on the link to the shirts at the Gant Rugger website you will see this….
“USE CODE LABORYAY FOR AN EXTRA 20% OFF SALE”
…which means you can save $37.00 if you order one of these shirts before the Labor Day 20% off promotion ends.

Sacre bleu! le pew!

I suspect if you wait long enough they can be purchased for a much greater discount than the 20% Labor Day special.
“I checked the Gant website and discovered something called Tech Prep. “Preppy” shirts that don’t wrinkle and wick sweat from your body.”
I’ve been wearing shirts that do that for over a half century, they are made of cotton. 😉
The touch, the feel, the fabric of our lives.

Great. Now im imagining the next marathon race with a bunch of Frenchmen dressed in these poor boy shirts.
The clashing patterns will cause headachs and loss of social status.
Looks like fun to me. Seems appropriate if worn under a Harris Tweed sports jacket and a pair of eight wale corduroys.
