Born in the 1906, Jim Thompson grew up in the tradition of tasteful elegance and charm. In those days when a gentleman traveled he wore a Panama hat, white linen suit and strapped an ample supply of crisp linen shirts into his leather valise. This was the age of slow, gracious travel when one summered in Cape Cod or the Hamptons or ventured further afar on a cruise to Europe. This Jim Thompson collection with its heavy linen fabrics, durable cottons and delightful silks celebrates the great travels and destinations of the past. However, with its clean, distinctive style and modern look this exciting collection equally celebrate the Great Escapes of the 21st century!
