Stiff cotton, button up, collar, short sleves, probably with a cuff, pocket, in ecru, or beige.

Think about a boy-scout uniform, minus the badges and the sash.

Any sort of context this phrase can be associated with?



Perhaps it's a shirt that's "campy"?

Perhaps it's a shirt with the logo of one's summer camp?

Or maybe I'm just out of my mind....

Crap. That would have been so much better had someone not beaten me to the punch and posted the actual answer.

How about a "hairshirt?" Good R.E.M. song. Is it apparel?
