Timeless linen

Each of our shirts tells a story of quality and passion and shows meticulous attention to detail. We love the creased elegance of linen, exalted by a nonchalance style

Linen is the oldest known textile ever made. It's a strong, fine and naturally breezy. Its fibre is very absorbent and shirts made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness, especially in balmy and humid weather. Linen is 100% recyclable, durable, and environmentally sustainable.

THE RIGHT CHOICE: Linen fibres are 'stiff', so they don't stick to your body. This allows more air-flow that flows through to your skin; it also drys out quickly making you feel cooler. Its high air permeability which lets the air flow through the weave allowing room to breathe!

The story
