About this piece

A short-sleeve shirt on a relaxed block, with a plain placket and no shoulder yoke bulk. It is the sort of piece that earns its place by being useful on an ordinary Tuesday rather than by being impressive in a photograph, and those are the ones that stay in rotation. It comes in 1 colour.

Fabric and feel

Knitted rather than woven, so the surface has a fine, even grain and the fabric moves in both directions. That two-way give is what lets a knitted piece sit close to the body without pulling across the chest, and it is why the seams stay flat instead of standing up along the shoulder. A mid-weight knit with a soft, dry hand and enough body to hold its shape through a day of wear. It stretches with you rather than against you, and it returns to shape when you take it off — which is the difference between a knit that still looks tidy in month three and one that has gone slack at the elbows.

Cut and fit

The seams are flat-felled or bound rather than overlocked and left raw, so there is nothing to catch and nothing to fray out of the wash. Hems are re-turned twice before stitching, and the shoulder seam carries a strip of tape so it does not stretch out of line on a hanger. It is graded S/M/L/XL, and the flat measurements for every size are in the chart below.

Getting the collar right

A button-up shirt with a clean front and a collar that holds its shape when worn open as well as buttoned. Detailed where it needs to be and plain where it does not. The shape is kept quiet so it works with what you already own rather than only with the rest of one collection.

Wearing, washing and keeping it

Choose it from what the listing says rather than from the letter on something you already own. A chest and waist reading tells you far more than the label does, which is why the chart below lists both. Everything we can state as a fact is in the chart below. Where a number would only be a guess, we have left it out rather than written something approximate.

Flat shoulder seam

Laid flat rather than overlocked, so nothing catches underneath.

Cut to tuck or leave out

Long enough to stay tucked, short enough to wear loose.

Even sleeve pitch

Hangs the same on both sides instead of twisting forward.

Measured flat, in centimetres. Knitwear relaxes and settles after the first wash, so allow for up to 2 cm of movement in either direction.

Allow 1-2 cm of tolerance, since the garments are cut and sewn by hand rather than stamped. If your measurement lands between two sizes, take the larger one - our fits are not vanity sized.

How we would wear it

Buttoned, no tie
The collar has enough stand to look deliberate on its own.
Open over a tee
Works as a light layer without the collar collapsing.
Tucked with a belt
Long enough to stay tucked through a day of sitting and standing.
Untucked with denim
The hem line is cut to look intentional rather than borrowed.

Care

Wash cool with similar colours and reshape while damp. Skip the fabric softener, which coats the fibre and flattens the surface rather than softening it, and keep it away from velcro and zips in the drum.
