I appreciate a well-made shirt. The very nice folks at Jill McGowan asked me to try one of their very well-made shirts. So, yes! They’re a small, woman-owned company with their flagship store in Freeport, Maine. They sell their shirts online and through selected retailers around the country.
Here’s their story, from their website:
After comparing her work on men’s shirts to women’s clothing of equal price, she recognized the genuine need to improve the standard of women’s clothing.
Hooray for quality, and made in the USA. The shirt I received is impeccably constructed from fine cotton. It feels crisp and substantial. I plan to wear it year-round, as an over-shirt/light topper. Check out more of Jill’s designs here and have a look at her Facebook page, too.

Oh, you know, there's one of us in every group, that just has to know where the critter shirt came from 😛 Altho' I do love the beautiful blue shirt, you had me at the cat.
Ohh! I love this look. Then again, I'm a bit partial to tuxedo cats, and your tee looks like you've got one clinging to you. And of course those awesome boots. *drool*
That color blue is fabulous on you!! Add some kick-ass boots and a cat shirt and you look amazing!!
I love this outfit, Patti! The shirt worn as a duster is perfect and the cat T so cute! Good job!
adorable outfit Patti, love that cat shirt
A well made shirt is priceless – and this one looks great on you! xo C. (HHL)
Agree, black cats do go with everything!
That shirt looks great, Patti, I'd love to wear it with black skinnies and a black top-

I thought I saw a puddy-cat! You've styled this quality shirt perfectly, in my humble opinion Patti! Love that it's classic, but a wee bit quirky, and fresh all at the same time.
the boots are amazing! and I love that shirt, too
Always expensive… 19% tax for me to Germany plus the postage of course. Annette
Beautiful colour on you, Patti, you do relaxed chic so very well! I'm not a shirt wearer, but can appreciate the quality and detail of yours. And a cute kitty, key, and funky ankle boots are the perfect accompaniments! xxxx
Lovely outfit (have to get used to these kind of booties with a skirt but I know that is my hang-up). I think I would also wear it with skinnies. But I think I wear a lot with skinnies.
The T-shirt with the cat is great.
And I could do with the Lara, but it is not a very good idea for me to order clothes in the USA.

I appreciate a well-made shirt too, and you look lovely in yours Patti
Hi Patti! I just raided your Pinterest style board. Thank you. These shirts are so beautiful. You look fabulous in yours. Ever since I left the corporate world I have not been able to drop that much for a shirt. Though I do understand WHY they are so expensive.
Very tailored! Very nice looking!
XOXO

I love the cat peaking out : ) Looks like he is trying to play with the key hanging around your neck.
