Shirts

Our shirts are made in Italy and come in several collar styles: button-down, spread, point and camp. The button-down has a soft roll, and the spread collar has removable stays, so it can be worn crisp with a tie or relaxed without one.

The casual shirts are cut from a sturdier oxford cloth or corduroy, or from Japanese denim and chambray. The dress shirts are cut from very fine fabrics, often with a yarn count of 100s or 120s, which is what gives them their smooth, even surface.

The shirtmaking is traditional: single needle stitching, a gusset reinforcing the base of each side seam, patterns matched across the seams, and Australian mother-of-pearl buttons. The sleeves are attached by hand and set slightly forward to follow the natural line of the arm, which is why the seam is misaligned under the armscye.

A wider range of fabrics is available as made-to-measure shirts, with even more handwork, three or six operations worked by hand, cut to your measurements with the collar, cuffs and details chosen by you.
