Believe it or not, we were the kids who were happy to get back to school after summer break.  No we’re not saying that we were eagerly awaiting the school work, or even the classes, but there was just something nice about getting back into a routine after some time away.  Well, we’re in the same boat after being away from the office for the last few days.  Of course, spending Thanksgiving with family and friends was a great escape from the norm, but this morning we were actually happy to hear the alarm ring. Because we will probably spend most of the day behind a desk playing catchup, we are keeping things a bit more casual with the Selvedge Poplin Shirt ($129.50) from Lands End Canvas.

With a spread collar and barrel cuffs, the Selvedge Poplin Shirt looks like many of the white shirts that hang in our closet, yet has a feel that is noticeably different thanks to the antique shuttle loom woven cotton.  While this shirt could certainly be dressed up, we prefer to pair it with a pair of chinos or cords, and maybe a casual tie like the Fair Isle Tie above ($79.50, also from Lands End Canvas).  As far as fit is concerned, this shirt features a trim fit that definitely isn’t skinny, but is far more slim than the boxy cuts that tend to accompany your standard white poplin shirts.  Whether you are looking for something to wear for a casual day in the office, or just around campus under your favorite cardigan, the Selvedge Poplin Shirt from Lands End Canvas fits the bill.
