"FacebookPinterest\n\nJack Robie makes some seriously solid men's shirting staples. Established by a couple of friends in 2009, the brand takes its name from Cary Grant's character in To Catch a Thief.\n\nAll of their stuff is handmade here in the USA, using top-notch fabrics from Italy, Japan and other fine purveyors. But what really makes these shirts so attractive for casual wear is the cut -- short and tailored -- meant to be rocked untucked, while kicking around the docks, the beach or the boulevard; wherever your summer takes you.\n\nSpeaking of summer, their new collection just launched today and the \"Woody\" is one of the standouts. This Japanese cotton, button-down collar shirt is done in soft blue with navy anchors. We love the idea of wearing this piece with rolled-up jeans or chinos midweek, bringing the vacation mindset of days spent doing very little to the city.\n\nBrian Nicholson, one of the founders of the brand, spoke briefly with us to discuss what went into the inspiration for Jack Robie:\n\n\"Basically, we set out to make a great-fitting, relad dress shirt. Us and many of our friends were having a tough time finding quality shirts that didn't fall on one of the extremes: traditionally shaped (read: huge) or super-slim, designer-like shirts that didn't fit a slightly more athletic guy in the biceps and shoulders. We spent a long time perfecting the cut of our signature pattern and our customers seem to be very pleased with the results.\n\n\"For our summer 2011 collection, we really listened to the bulk of our customer-base -- in Miami and Washington, DC -- when they asked for us to go a little more prep; so although we've got the surf checks and some cool stitch detailing and so forth, the product retains its classic appeal.\"\n\nAll I know is, Brian, I saw one of your shirts in the office yesterday and I'm fighting every urge to slip it into my bag on the way out..."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
