Sure, I could go for some fresh denim, a new pair of chinos and shoes are always good. But I'm OK wearing the same jean-shoe combo for a week straight so I find that I'm pining for a new shirt at least once a week. This plaid version from Steven Alan is one of my favourites of late and is the shirt of the week for me. The shirt has single needle seams so there's a little less stitching which is alright by me because it's a Steven Alan button-down. I usually prefer button collars but the lack of one is a nice break in routine for me. That stuff is good but I love the shirt because of the colour and the slightly boxy fit though. It's a nice enough shirt to tuck into chinos and wear with some non-leather oxfords. But that fun, spring blue is one of my favourite colours and the boxy fit means I can wear it super casually and bust out some Air Maxes if I want too. Hell, maybe if I've been cutting a rug all night I'll end up wearing it like the dude at Oak. Regardless, it's a good shirt.

I think the plaid shirt is here to stay. I don't think many are making them better than Steve Alan either. Great shirt.
made in china no doubt
Most of their stuff is made in the US.
i think you will find their shirts aren't
I have multiple SA shirts made in the US. I believe he had a problem with local production about a year ago and went overseas, but returned most of his stuff to the states.
I just tried this shirt on at my Barney's Co-Op. It's made in the US.
