Reminiscent of the shirts worn regularly in the 40’s and 50’s, this one has the button placket coming down halfway. This shirt was cut from a beautiful, hand-woven chambray, 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% 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.

I ordered two custom linen shirts from post romantic. They made them in this style, to my exact measurements. The shirts are outstanding, I have had shirts made by other makers, here in the UK and the shirts post romantic make are equally as good, for a fraction of the price! The buttons are wonderful, they add a real touch of class and quality to the shirt. I highly recommend and will be sure to order more. Thanks guys and keep up the great work.

With this chambray shirt I can feel that was designed and made by people who genuinely cares about clothes, not just selling them. The fabric is a standout with its subtle depth of color. The tailoring has a flowing easy drape that moves with you. Its relaxed while still feeling intentional in every detail. Every seam and stitch shows a level of precision in craftsmanship. And the price almost feels like getting away with something.
