A blue and black print men’s ensemble by Jon Webb. This ensemble features a blue and black print men’s shirt (a) pants (b), and a brimless hat (c). The men’s shirt features a batwing-like silhouette and a curved ‘U’ shaped bottom hem. The crew neck is made from two panels of blue jersey knit with black all-over print that resembles character based/ancient script seamed together at the sides. The upper half of the sweater is made from one panel of black cotton jersey knit and the bottom half is made from a panel of blue cotton jersey knit with black print. There is a central insert of black and white striped jersey that intersects the black and blue knit panels. The central insert starts under the crew neck collar and ends near the waist of the sweater.
