Charvet

My last post was about an escape to Paris. Another favourite thing ... Parisian tailors. OK this is going to hurt your wallet. But the experience is worth it. More than 150 years old, Charvet is a remarkable shirt maker. Coco Chanel, Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, Oscar Wilde, the Kings and Queens of Europe, Debussy, Monet, Fred Astaire, Proust, Frank Lloyd Wright, President Jacque Chirac of France, Bing Crosby and Noel Coward are just a few of the clients who wore Charvet shirts. Imagine every facet of your shirt, custom tailored to your own body. Just the right amount of pull, resistance or slack where you like it. Mother of pearl buttons. Quality stitching. The most luxurious dress shirt fabrics anywhere in the world. Silk lined cuffs and colours, and silk guards just in case the cotton should chafe your ever sensitives skin. $1 Can Thousand per shirt ... However, if you need to look good, it may be money well spent.
