Linen/cotton is the ideal fabric for warm weather. It is actually cooler than pure linen because it is not as dense and stiff. It is also suitable for year-round wear as you can just wear an undershirt or add more layers for warmth. This blend also lacks the slubs and wrinkle-prone nature of linen and is appropriate with a suit.

The fabric is milled in Italy by SIC Tess, who specializes in linen. Their linen/cotton is the best in the world. The voile weave is an open weave that breathes well without being transparent.

Features

All shirts feature large, luxurious mother of pearl buttons, with the highest grade of iridescence. We challenge you to find better mother of pearl buttons.

All shirts feature pattern matching at the shoulders and throughout.

Made-to-measure

We can also make custom shirts based on your measurements in any of the fabrics we offer. The price is the same as the ready-to-wear shirts and will take about six weeks.

Unlike other custom shirtmakers, we prefer to first send you one of our ready-to-wear shirts for you to try on, and then you can note measurement modifications based on that (e.g. +1" waist, -0.5" sleeve, etc.). This allows us to have a very good chance of making your first shirt fit well. Whereas the more common method of simply submitting a set of measurements typically results in ill-fitting, unwearable shirts for the first one or two iterations, and is a waste of your time and money.

To get started, take a look at the above measurement guide and purchase a shirt that you think will fit you best. If it just happens to be perfect, then you can keep the shirt. If not, return it and we'll make you a new shirt with your desired modifications.

Any combination of styling choice (collars, cuffs) and fabrics is possible. Please contact us for details.

As with all shirts, machine wash cold on the gentle cycle and hang dry only. Heated drying will shorten the life of your shirt, as will the chemicals used in dry cleaning. A few minutes in the dryer on the no heat / air puff cycle before hang drying will reduce wrinkling. Also avoid bleach, fabric softener, and starch. It's best to wash your shirts yourself, but any good cleaner, given these instructions, will suffice.

Over a few washes, if hang dried, shrinkage will be almost imperceptible. The neck will shrink about 0.25" and the shirt length and sleeve length about 0.5". If machine dried, shrinkage may be around 1". We cannot accept returns on washed or worn garments.

Spare buttons are available at no charge.

We accept returns on unused items within 60 days of the date the item was delivered. Items must be in resellable condition. Please contact us first.

Items may be tried on but we cannot accept returns on items that have been worn longer than that. Washed items cannot be returned.
