Get a Deal on a Read's Clothing Project Shirt

Seersucker Gingham Shirt via Read's Clothing Project, $155.00
Seersucker Gingham Shirt via Read's Clothing Project. $155.00.
A young designer we've had our eye on for over a year is Read Wall, proprietor of Read's Clothing Project.

We liked his take on the sport shirt: slim and fitted but with a collar that looks like it sometimes enjoys a beer and a steak, in contrast to manorexic collars from Band of Outsiders or Paul Smith, for example. For S/S 2012 he's using Japanese cotton, sewn interlinings, and has moved production to the United States. Plus, for every purchase he donates a book of your choice to a kid in Africa.

The improvements (and literary altruism) don't come without a cost. Read's shirts are $155. However, for the next week you can get 30% off with the code MagnificentShirts. That's $108.50 for what RCP guarantees will be your favorite shirt or your money back. Size up one for sure, and if you're on the fence, size up two.
