The name Black Watch comes from the nickname of the Scottish infantry who wore this check, which was "Black Sentinels." The check, which is made up of black, blue, and green, looks black from a distance, so it's called "black," but this Black Watch shirt uses a vibrant blue to create a very refreshing blue check. Just making the blue more vibrant changes the impression so much, so there's a lot of depth to the color combinations in checks. The shoulders are compact, giving a minimalist impression, but the body and sleeves are roomy, making it comfortable to wear.
