Enzo’s Shirt.

Oyster joint. Westport. The bartender, Enzo, slides a glass ofGlenmorangie Nectar d’Or across the bar and says to try it with the Blue Point oysters I just ordered.

Youll thank me, he says.

Good god, if he isnt right.

I notice hes wearing an exceptionally good shirt and tell him so, while I scribble some details and a sketch into my notebook and consider color combinations.

He tells me his grandfather sends a couple of shirts to him each year from one of the oldest shops in Genova.

I order another round of everything, and he tells me about this one and many others.

About his grandfather, most of all.

Contrasting color at collar, cuffs, pocket opening, and hem. Single chest pocket. Imported.
