Usage with They.
The shirts sold well and attracted a certain 'well dressed' type who wear such shirts. They have that debonair quality, whilst reflecting a modern sense of fashion.
When using 'they' in a sentence like this. Does 'they' always have to link directly (as opposed to just relating to the previous sentence as a whole) to an antecendent (a related word or phrase) so that it doesn't get mistaken for something else in the sentence.
Here debonair (a word used to describe a person) could me interpreted as relating to the shirt (even though it's illogical) and so could they.
