There are some who dispute the fact that President Chester A. Arthur was the first man to wear the Oxford Button-Down shirt. They are right, he wasn't. Van Heusen has discovered that its originator was actually Arthur A. Chester, who, oddly enough, used the button not to keep his collar down, but to keep his shirt up. Whatever its purpose, the Oxford Button- Down (or Button-Up) shirt wowed Mr. Chester's crowd on sight and has been a staple of fine wardrobes ever since.
