Stacy Menswear Couture Pawns in Gold on Black Premium Cotton Percale Dress Shirt
$355.00
For Fall of 2026, the epitome of menswear luxury is personified in this LIMITED EDITION hand-painted (acrylic), up-scaled cotton percale dress shirt with a traditional convertible collar and cuffs. Stacy Stewart Smith presents Pawns in Gold (artist © 2003 and 2025). The subject matter is a play on the least powerful chess piece on the board that can excel to a higher rank, even royalty.
Pawns in Gold bears a couture twist, delivered through the designer's hand-painted and printed details. You should expect to see some signs of the hand-painted residue beneath the cuffs, around buttons, and on the reverse side, which is part of the inherent beauty of such an item. The current offering is in metallic yellow-gold acrylic paint on black-dyed cotton percale, as a random, abstracted, limited-edition image of the fine artist himself (circa 2003). The dress shirt has a full metallic gold-painted collar and cuffs, is hand-painted throughout, and is also printed with abstracted portraits. Each dot is a single brushstroke of the artist’s hand. Due to the artisan craftsmanship and the printing process, each item will be moderately different. Some stock is now available, but check back for more sizes soon. The shirt is mainly sold as custom apparel and wearable art and can be ordered in the sizes listed below.
The garment is sourced new from overseas. All hand-painting and printing is original by Stacy Stewart Smith and executed in the USA. The artist signs each garment, and the purchase arrives beautifully boxed with a certificate of authenticity.

Care:
To care for this item, please remove the metal collar stays and then gently wash the shirt in cold water with a delicate detergent. Do not soak for longer than 15 minutes. Do not wring; hang dry only away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or machine dry. Do not press the artwork or the hand-painting. If needed, lightly press the shirt from the reverse side, including the collar and cuffs (metal collar stays removed). This action will help to preserve the integrity of the hand-painting and printing. Do not dry clean or use abrasive tools or solvents. Please do not bleach.
Note:
The shirt will have a crisp touch before laundering. Both the image and the dye color will fade in time and with each cleaning. You may wish to keep the garment as art or to frame it; however, the shirt is fully wearable. To retard fading, do not wash or submerge the garment in water. Instead, spot-clean only from the reverse on a clean, flat, unpainted surface with a mixture of distilled water and a gentle cleanser applied to a clean, colorless sponge or brush. Remove the cleaning solution residue with a sponge rinsed with distilled water, repeating as needed. To eliminate most odors (legal-aged adults only), disinfect with a mixture of 90% distilled water and 10% vodka. Use a spray bottle to apply a light coating of this solution to the reverse side, then hang to dry.
