We thought about running a Valentine’s gift guide today, but, to be perfectly honest, we prefer to keep thing pretty simple for Valentine’s.  Flowers, chocolate, a card, and a nice dinner (at home or out) has always been our go to, and it has never once let us down.  That being said, in a day that will be awash with red everything we figured it was a great time to break out the Red Candy Stripe Oxford from our friends at Ratio Clothing.

We’ve been fans of Ratio’s Campus Oxfords since we got turned onto them last year, and we think the Red Candy Stripe is just as versatile as any in the bunch.  Made from 100% cotton, these custom fit shirts have worked themselves into heavy rotation in the last twelve months with no signs of leaving the mix anytime soon.  Though the thought of a custom shirt may seem a bit daunting if you’ve never taken the plunge, Ratio keeps things pretty simple.  With a few quick measurements, and your input on a few details, you’ll have a shirt made just for you waiting on your doorstep in a matter of weeks.  For the record, our preferences for the Ratio Oxfords are the button down collar, barrel cuff, center back pleats, and slim fit.
