A top does not need to be complicated to be useful. The Hampshire proves it — flannel, blue and green plaid, and a cut that stays out of the way.
How to wear it
Pair it simply. A knit polo and suede shoes is enough. Avoid a second pattern — the Hampshire looks best when everything else is calm.
Care
Wash with similar tones for the first few cycles. flannel can release a little dye; after that it settles.
Fabric
The fabric is flannel with a slight texture. Under daylight it reads blue and green plaid; indoors it goes a shade deeper, which is typical of good dyeing.
Fit
The cut is regular. Room through the thigh, a straight fall, relaxed without looking oversized. Between sizes, take the smaller one.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
Simple, well made, easy to live with. That is the whole argument.
