TO SET THE NORM, START BY PUTTING ON THE RIGHT SHIRT
A breathtaking cut
Attention all the undecided, we have found the solution for you! This shirt, we designed it to be as comfortable to wear with or without a top underneath , no need to choose. Thanks to a slightly loose cut and a pleat in the back , it will adapt to all your outfits, no matter the season.
We could have called it LINcassable
A durable garment is a garment that lasts over time . And so that our shirts last more or less 350 years and that you can pass them on to your grandchildren, we have brought out the Rolls-Royce of solid textiles: A Franco-Belgian linen of 225gr/m² . It has a high tensile strength (resists when pulled) and is about 30% stronger than cotton . Reinforced concrete, we say.
Portable yesterday, today and tomorrow
Our LEGACY shirt was designed to be worn all year round . In summer, it is perfect for avoiding sweat under the arms thanks to its greater capacity to absorb and diffuse moisture than cotton, as is well known. However, we do not know enough about the insulating power of linen , which retains heat better in winter than cotton. Hypoallergenic, antibacterial, quick drying, no pilling, ... We no longer have enough space to write all the good things about this shirt.
Attention to detail
After dozens of prototypes and hundreds of fittings, we are pleased to offer a more than neat shirt. A perfectly proportioned collar , a pocket on the heart with durable embroidery , a button on the elbow to roll up your sleeves, a pleat in the back because it's still much more stylish and curves to make people jealous . We didn't spend 2 years on it for nothing.
