The Grey & Merlot Melange Buffalo Check Shirt by David Donahue is a bold yet sophisticated option for men who want a shirt that stands out while remaining versatile and easy to style. Crafted in a relaxed, trim-fit silhouette, this shirt is cut slightly shorter, giving it a clean, casual look that’s designed to be worn untucked. The fabric features a larger buffalo check pattern blending shades of blue, merlot, brown, and heathered grey, creating a melange effect that adds depth and visual interest.
Although the pattern gives the shirt a flannel-inspired appearance, the fabric itself is smooth and dressy, making it appropriate for both polished and casual outfits. A standout detail is the hidden button-down collar, which keeps the collar points sharp and secure—perfect for layering under sweaters, quarter-zips, or sport coats without losing structure.
This shirt pairs effortlessly with grey trousers, dark denim, khakis, or layered under a jacket. You can wear it casually on its own, dress it up beneath a sport coat, or even add a tie for a smart, unexpected look. The bold check is eye-catching but well-balanced, making it a great way to bring color and personality into your fall and winter wardrobe.
Note that David Donahue’s casual, trim-fit shirts tend to run slightly on the small side. If you are between sizes or prefer a bit more room, consider sizing up for the best fit.
At Q. Contrary, we love how this shirt blends modern style, rich color, and refined details—making it a standout piece for any wardrobe.
