Cut and sewn in Bengaluru, forty minutes from the shop, by a workroom of nine.

The cut

Straight through the body with no waist suppression at all. Linen moves; a fitted linen shirt fights it.

How it is put together

  • Band collar, interlined with woven cotton so it stands without stiffening.
  • Half placket, topstitched at 3 mm and bar-tacked at the base.
  • Set-in sleeve with a felled armhole.
  • Side vents, faced, so it sits over a trouser without riding.
