Percival have to be one of my favourite British break-through brand and these cotton twill outer shirts for Spring/Summer 2011 are fantastic.

Available in Orange Rust and Navy, the Cotton Twill Outer Shirt is a great addition to the wardrobe in the Spring months. Not quite a jacket, not quite a shirt, you couldn’t ask for a better half-way house really. What I most like about Percival is the simplicity of their over-all designs, yet their attention to fine detail. These shirts are brilliantly simple, no frills make for a very versatile garment. The clean unbranded flat brass buttons are a really nice addition and work well against the cotton twill. Striped contrast lining, side pockets and a short work-wear collar add the final touches.

Not much else to say really; simple yet effective. Expect to see this hitting the Percival online store in the next couple of days.
