Also coming in from our Osaka-based friends is Master-piece's collaboration shirt with one of the most quintessentially English brands that have a rich history spanning back longer than most clothing purveyors. Aquascutum was founded in 1851 by John Emary in the Mayfair district of London. Shortly after its founding as a tailoring company, the brand developed water-repellent fabrics and trench coats that were worn by British troops in the Crimean War and World Wars I and II. In 1976, Aquascutum introduced their club check pattern that would become the brand's icon. Since then, the brand has been patronized by celebrities and popularized by youth culture. Master-piece celebrate this revered British brand's heritage with a shirt that combines the iconic club check pattern with functionality and modern aesthetics. With backpack wearers in mind, this particular piece features ventilated back construction to alleviate the stuffiness felt when carrying a backpack for long periods of time. The "Coolmax" mesh lining excels in moisture absorption and is quick to dry, combining perfectly with the relaxed aesthetic of the garment to reduce overall skin contact.
