The Downing takes its cue from the striped surf tees that turned up on Californian beaches in the mid-60s. Even the name nods to a celebrated surfer from that era.
Fabric & feel
Cut from a 300 g cotton-poly blend, it’s noticeably weightier than a standard T-shirt yet still lets air move through the weave. I wore one during last summer’s heatwave and never felt boxed in. The extra heft also means the shirt hangs cleanly and keeps its shape, giving it an almost knit-like drape.
Edition size
Only 100 have been made in this colour-way. No restocks, no second run.
How to wear
Holiday shorts, weekend jeans, under a Harrington—there isn’t much it won’t pair with. It works especially well with our new Dewey Bumps or any of the summer shoes in the range.
Road-tested
Lynne debuted the sample in our video shoot, then put it through its paces at a couple of Northern Soul nights—no complaints.
Sizing notes
Fits true to 66 sizing. If you wear XL in Gabicci or other 66 shirts, stick with XL here.
