SH01 Button Down Shirt - Chocolate Melange Brushed Cotton

Regular price
Size:

Partnering with our Neapolitan Atelier for our second Made in Italy design, the SH01 is our riff on the classic Ivy style Shirts of the mid-20th century. Our Button Down Shirt has all the hallmarks a purist would expect, plus a number of neatly executed details sewn by hand.

The SH01 features a shaped-yet-relaxed cut, a gorgeous collar roll, round cuffs with a single button, Mother Of Pearl buttons, a front placket and box pleat with locker loop at the back. The chest pocket is shaped with a subtle curve as our ode to Neapolitan tailoring.

Handmade steps include the cutting of the fabric, button attachment, buttonholes, armholes, side gussets and bar tacks. The classic styling paired with rare Neapolitan artisan work ensures the SH01 will be unlike anything you’ve ever worn.

The fabric is a midweight brushed Cotton woven in Italy by Canclini. When viewed up close the melange shows a textured mix of brown, grey and black. The material is extremely soft and quite flexible yet densely woven, which means a great ease-of-movement and luxe touch with a decent amount of durability and warmth.
