Ben Sherman Royal Milk Tea

A nice example of the “package-as-clothing” metaphor: this 2008 canned “Royal Milk Tea” promotion from the British clothing company, Ben Sherman.
While the term “buttoned-down” has come to mean “conservative and unimaginatively conventional,” back in the early 60s, button down shirts were cool & downright mod.
