CLASSIC BLUE OXFORD BUTTON-DOWN IN ORGANIC COTTON

Decades ago, the polo players in India asked their tailors to add small buttons on the top of their shirts to keep the collars from flapping in the wind. That was the birth of this classic shirt. We made this in undyed, organic, and natural cotton, woven by a small mill in Türkiye. A classic button-down collar 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 always made of natural shell. The fit is easy and comfortable. The sort of shirt you can have on and go about your business not remembering, while everyone around you thinks what a nice shirt you have on. Slightly stiff in the beginning, it will age beautifully as it’s worn and washed. A pattern will be cut, and the shirt made for you once you order and submit your measurements. If taken care of, this shirt should last to over a decade.

• FABRIC

  100% undyed, organic Turkish 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. 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 an ease in movement.
  – The buttons are natural shell and sewn by hand on to each shirt.

• MILL

  This fabric was woven by Soktas, a mill in Türkiye, they make truly eclectic fabrics on small scale.

• CARE

  For a long life of the shirt, it’s best to dry clean this shirt. It can also be hand-washed or washed in a machine.

• SHIPPING
