SIMPLE SHIRT IN LIGHT BLUE HANDLOOMED COTTON

This is a simple light blue shirt, the beauty lies in the way the cotton was woven. This weave might be the precursor of the modern oxford cloth. The fabric is slightly stiff, completely untouched by any chemicals that sanforize the fabric, but with age it will become soft and mold to the way you wear the shirt. This shirt has a full open front and was cut from a beautiful, hand-woven cotton fabric, woven on a handloom that used no electricity. An easy one to wear, it’s the perfect casual shirt. The collars are understated and soft, entirely hand-constructed, as the whole shirt is, by a tailor in their own workshop. The hem of the shirt is curved and the buttons are natural shell. Meant to be worn un-tucked, but of course you can have it made at the length you desire. A pattern will be cut and the shirt made for you once you order and submit your measurements.

• FABRIC

  100% handloomed cotton.

• CONSTRUCTION

  The shirt was crafted entirely by hand, essentially as it was a hundred years ago, using nothing more than a sewing machine, some thread and a needle. The stitching is durable and the shirt is made to last.

  – The seams are flat-felled, meaning once sewn, turned over and sewn again to make them stronger.
  – The sides are strengthened by hand-sewn gussets.
  – The shirt has a split yoke in the back.
  – The collars and cuffs are softly constructed by hand and are unfused.
  – Misaligned sleeve and side seams for ease of movement.
  – The buttons are natural shell and sewn by hand on to each shirt.

• MILL

  This fabric was woven by a family of weavers outside Lahore, Punjab.

• CARE

  To ensure a long life of the shirt, it’s best to hand wash it. Can be machine-washed as well.
