Article: Which White Shirt?

Which White Shirt?

Which White Shirt?

We have got seven white shirts, so which one is right for you?

Firstly, it's a matter of fit: our Contemporary shirts are semi-slim and come with a tail to be worn in or out. Our Classic shirts are slightly fuller, and feature a longer tail for tucking in.

White cotton poplin shirt

Next comes the cotton,  poplin is crisp and light and never not right. Oxford cotton is subtly rextured and slightly weightier. Our  mesh cotton is made for summer.

Pleated evening shirt

Finally, it's cuffs, collars and the front: buttoning cuffs and plain fronts are standard wear for work and play. Double cuffs with cufflinks and placket or pleated fronts are de rigueur for evening wear.
