When all's said and done, it's linen that takes the plaudits.
Linen steals the show
This year, we're throwing everything else to the wind and putting it all on linen. For those summer days when you want to simply unwind, linen's unmatched lightness and moisture-wicking powers are unbeatable. It's literally a breath of fresh air.
Born under the sun:
We've had to bid adieu to the good Alsatian folk at Emmanuel Lang which sadly went out of business. Still, we're keeping it top-notch with linen harvested in France, spun in Tunisia and finished with finesse in Portugal by TMG. Quality, in close proximity.
Irresistible on all necks:
Meet the showstopper, the Band Collar. It’s the heart and soul of our shirt blending minimalism with sophistication. It's a collar shape that doesn't just fit in; it stands out.
A stand-up collar:
Not many know this, but the Band Collar's also dubbed the Officer's Collar. The challenge is maintaining that crisp, upstanding look, ready for whatever your summer throws at it. We’ve managed this thanks to a clever heat-bonded, fused collar that will keep doing the job wash after wash.
The right fit:
After countless rounds of development and co-creation, we've landed on the perfect Asphalte shirt cut. The Band Collar is no exception; it's the fit you've been waiting for.
Colour Me Summer
With a palette inspired by summer itself - think pristine whites, serene stripes, and the raw hue of linen - you'll be turning heads whether you're beach-bound, park lounging, or terrace hopping. The only tough call? Picking your favourite.
Home finishes:
Crafted in Portugal with precision by our shirtmakers Ribul, these boast top-notch finishes, from bio-sourced buttons to double-pleated cuffs and a sturdy breast pocket. It's the kind of quality you can trust without a second thought.
A little goes a long way:
This Band Collar shirt is a cinch to style. Whether over a tee or under a blazer, it's effortlessly elegant. Just don’t try and wear a tie with it.
