Story

Big city sophistication meets the best of Midwestern ambition in The St. Paul. Today, as the state capital, St. Paul, along with its twin city, anchors the second-largest economic center in the Midwest. From the Wabasha Caves, actual caves that were transformed by gangsters into an underground speakeasy known as the “Castle Royal” to the storied Cathedral of Saint Paul, one of the most distinctive cathedrals in the nation, modeled after St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican in Rome, St. Paul has shaped its own legendary success story.

Drawing inspiration from this beautiful blue collar city built on the bluffs of the Mississippi, our St. Paul dress shirt features a smart navy blue micro check pattern. Designed with our small button down collar, a luxurious 120s poplin fabric, mother-of-pearl buttons, and a collegiate yet modern style, the St. Paul will put you at ease. Wear it with jeans when watching a hockey game and drinking local hops at your favorite bar, or with slacks when taking a stroll through historic landmarks and museums.

Fabric

Egyptian cotton is a particular variety that is grown in only a few other places. It is renowned as some of the best in the world. It has an extra long staple, which means it has longer fibers, resulting in a silkier, more durable fabric. Poplin, sometimes called broadcloth, is a plain weave which means the threads alternately cross over and then under each other. This results in a very smooth and durable fabric that has an almost silky hand feel, particularly with higher thread counts. Also, poplins look very crisp when ironed.
