 In
the late 70's and early 1980's, MERCER&SONS
was located in an 18th century warehouse across from Boston
Garden. At that time, the primary maker of traditional button downs
shirts cheapened its product. Not only had the workmanship become uneven, the cut was
compromised, no longer the full cut of the 50's.
In response, MERCER&SONS
designed
our own trademarked shirt pattern (Baggier and Better tm),
even more full cut than the classic 1950's model, with a slightly
longer 3 7/16" button down collar which we cut, turn, trim and
point by hand to guarantee its distinctive full roll.
Once we had sourced the
finest yarn-dyed, two-ply oxford cloth available (our famed
Bulletprooftm Pima Oxford) we began manufacturing button downs
for men who rely every day on their shirts for fit, quality and
traditional good looks. Since that time, we have broadened our shirt
line to include not only the finest Italian and English shirtings,
but also the best straight point, plain collar and the best short
sleeve sport shirt, as well.
A number of years later, we
moved our operations to Adamsville, part of Little Compton, Rhode
Island, a small seaside fishing and farming village located in the
shadow of historic textile mills of Rhode Island and SE
Massachusetts, and close by the highly respected Textile Department
at U-Mass- Dartmouth. more recently, we moved our offices to 89
Maine Street in Yarmouth, an old shipbuilding village nestled
between Portland and South Freeport, Maine. |
