Notch Neck Button Detail Ribbed Crop Tank Top

About this piece

A button-up shirt with a clean front and a collar that holds its shape when worn open as well as buttoned. What makes it worth having is consistency — the same behaviour on the tenth use as on the first, with no break-in period and nothing to get used to. It comes in 4 colours.

Fabric and feel

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

Pattern pieces are cut to a consistent grain, which is why the two sides hang the same way instead of one twisting forward. Fastenings are load-bearing: the buttons, zip or drawcord are the ones the design actually needs, not the cheapest that would hold the shape on a shelf. It is graded S/M/L/XL, and the flat measurements for every size are in the chart below.

Getting the collar right

A short-sleeve shirt on a relaxed block, with a plain placket and no shoulder yoke bulk. 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. Pockets, plackets and waistbands are the parts that decide whether a garment gets worn, so they are treated as structure rather than as decoration.

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. For travel, roll it rather than folding it flat and most of the creasing drops out on its own once it is hanging again. 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.

Measurements by size

Measured flat, in centimetres, with the garment laid out and not stretched. Chest, waist and hip are half-circumference: double them to compare with a body measurement.

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

1. Buttoned, no tie

   The collar has enough stand to look deliberate on its own.

2. Open over a tee

   Works as a light layer without the collar collapsing.

3. Tucked with a belt

   Long enough to stay tucked through a day of sitting and standing.

4. 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.
