Thomas Pink "Traveller"

Much has been said, though not by me, about the Thomas Pink Traveller [sic] shirt. Features of this remarkable two-fold cotton garment include a special finish to reduce creasing, a hidden inside breast pocket to conceal a passport and a secret pocked built into the cuff to conceal a credit card.





Alas the state of foreign travel for Americans. Reviled by much of the world, we're evidently forced to keep our credit cards hidden in our cuffs. To me, the shirt doesn't look especially great. But throw on a sports jacket, or, hell, a safari jacket, and you'll up your coolness quotient while traveling (even if through unfriendly territories).

The Traveller is available in solid white, blue, pink (my choice) and bengal stripe, in button cuff (and button-down collar) or french cuffs (spread).
