There are a few brands that I've known for a while and meant to introduce to readers, but have not yet got round to it. Portuguese Flannel heads that list. I first came across their gorgeous cotton shirts at a trade show last year and have since met them again. I was attracted by the wide range of tartan/plaid designs in high quality cotton, all made in Portugal, from where so many of the best-made shirts come.
Their collection for summer 2015 contains a white seersucker short-sleeved shirt (above), which they kindly sent to me. Well-made and stylish, it's the perfect shirt to wear on a warm day with shorts or chinos. See Portuguese Flannel and for a list of UK stockists, see here.
