Hamilton, The Platonic Ideal


Hamilton got some love in this month's GQ's The Best of American Small-Batch, a roundup, in characteristically American fashion (pun), of,  "...artisanal versions of things that get better from, uh, artisanizing."
"If you subscribe to the theory that practice makes perfect, then you understand why Hamilton's button-fronts, "hand-cut and sewn in Houston for 129 years," represent the platonic ideal of shirts. Case in point, this Flanelina button-down, with a trim-but-not-tight fit and an azure blue that makes your average oxford literally pale in comparison."
