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 1 colour.

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. 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.

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. 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

It is built to be worn rather than saved for an occasion — the cloth takes a full day in it, and the cut reads the same at the end of that day as it did at the start. 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. The care instructions are short on purpose. Wash it the way you would wash anything you intend to keep, dry it flat or on a line, and it will hold the shape it arrived in.

Collar with a real roll

Cut with enough stand that it holds its shape worn open.

Plain front placket

Clean button stand without a contrasting strip or logo.

Cut to tuck or leave out

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

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

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

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and dry flat in the shade. Do not hang a wet knit — the weight is what stretches shoulders out of line. Do not tumble dry and do not iron directly; steam from the reverse if it needs refreshing between washes.
