Men's Short Sleeve Cuban Collar Button Shirt

About this piece

A short-sleeve shirt on a relaxed block, with a plain placket and no shoulder yoke bulk. The thinking behind it is simple: get the size right, get the surface right, and leave everything else alone. Nothing here is decorative for its own sake. It comes in 6 colours.

Fabric and feel

Closely worked with a smooth, low-sheen surface that does not flatten or pill where it rubs. The seams are neat on the inside as well as the outside, and the piece keeps its shape after washing because the fibres were rested before cutting rather than stitched straight off the machine. A firm, evenly woven surface with a slight give. It holds its own shape rather than collapsing, sits flat where it should sit flat, and stays comfortable after a long day because nothing was over-tightened to make it look sharp.

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 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. The finishing is what you notice after a month rather than in the first minute: nothing scratchy where the cloth meets skin, and no trim that starts to look tired before the fabric does.

Wearing, washing and keeping it

Layering is where it earns its place: it sits under a jacket without bunching across the shoulders and over a base layer without pulling tight across the back. Worn in rotation rather than every single day, it holds its surface noticeably longer — and that applies to the cloth and the seams in equal measure.

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 cold on a gentle cycle and dry out of direct sun. Do not wring it out — press the water out between two towels instead. Keep it away from heat sources, which is what sets creases into synthetic surfaces rather than removing them.
