Indigo marl
Made
Cut and sewn in Bengaluru, forty minutes from the shop, by a workroom of nine.
Length
Curved hem, 74 cm at the back, cut to tuck.
Care
Wash at 30 °C. The yarn-dyed weave lightens at the folds over a year or two, which is the pleasure of it.

The cut

Cut close to the body but not slim, with room across the back for a shoulder that actually works.

How it is put together

  • Band collar with a two-piece stand, turned and topstitched at 2 mm.
  • Full placket, cut on the selvedge so the edge needs no hem.
  • Single-needle felled side seams throughout.
  • Sleeve placket with a proper gauntlet button.
  • Shell buttons; the spares are sewn inside the left vent.
