The Linen Shirt
The Linen Shirt is cut from a crisp and breathable, lightweight 126gsm plain weave fabric that only gets better over time. We play to the natural elegance of the linen fiber with a relaxed silhouette and subtle formal cues.

Working with our decade-long shirting partner Somelos, we're able to create a fully European linen fabric. Cultivated in France, the flax fiber is spun in Lithuania, before weaving and finishing at Somelos' facilities in Northern Portugal. From there the fabric travels less than an hour to our specialized shirt factory, Mundicorte, for cutting and sewing.
