Jean-Claude Colban, of Charvet shirts in Paris, is one of my favourite people in the world.
Both eloquent and erudite, he is a softly spoken oracle.

Dear Simon,
All of Jean-Claude’s characteristics are reflected by the quality and almost amazing variety of options at Charvet I have had the pleasure over the past 40+ years to have shirts made by Charvet and love reminiscing about going into their Paris building.
