I notice that gingham is becoming popular (pardon my ignorance if it is already is). I was browsing through the internet and found a picture of Shia Labeouf wearing a nice, black, gingham dress shirt for a premiere of Transformers 2. Here is the picture

Where can I find a shirt like that? I've searched most department stores and no luck.

I agree that there seems to be a rising prevalence of gingham in the last few months. At least more than what I'm used to seeing.

I found this, for instance.

I've seen black and white gingham at the brick and mortar stores before. Give them a call and ask.

It's not becoming popular...it's a full blown trend.

You can find gingham in just about any store that sells shirts...Gap, Banana Republic, J. Crew, etc. etc. etc. etc.

BB has a crapload of it, and most of it is on sale. Unfortunately, the sizing is limited to S, M, L, etc.

This means that the sleeves are too short for me. They also have many nice swatches in their books if you want to pay $150 to get a MTM shirt.

I picked up on exactly like the PS one at Nordstrom Rack, by Faccionable for less than $40 IIRC.

Next off I want to find a nice lavender, slightly larger pattern.

Good luck! I've been searching for three years. I'm just too cheap to go the non-OTR route.

Snagged both teal and lavender small-pattern ginghams at H&M in Vancouver two weeks ago. Already own a light blue. Would like a black.

What is the quality like? Those shirts seem a bit pricey for H&M.
