Washed Linen Shirt
- Linen
- 175 gsm
Linen and cotton, woven not knitted, cut loose for heat. Every page tells you the cloth, what it weighs, who it is cut for, and what it will do after the first wash.
Plus every unisex piece, which is most of the shorts, the overshirt and all the hats.
Women’s range
Trousers go by the waist in two-inch steps, so the leg is the same whichever size you take.
Men’s rangeShirts, trousers, shorts, dresses and skirts, overshirts and hats. Nothing with a zip you cannot see.
Linen, cotton poplin and camp collars, cut loose enough to move air and long enough to stay tucked.
9 pieces
Wide legs, drawstrings and pleats in linen and cotton, sized by the waist rather than a letter.
6 pieces
Mid-thigh to just above the knee, with proper pockets and waistbands that sit flat.
4 pieces
Shirt dresses, button-through dresses and wrap skirts that tie rather than zip.
4 pieces
The lightest layer that counts as a jacket: linen and brushed twill with patch pockets.
3 pieces
Woven paper straw and washed linen, in three head sizes, packable where we say so.
4 piecesThe washed linen shirt first, then the wide trousers, then a second hat because the first one stayed on holiday.
Each one has a habit. We put the habit on the product page rather than in the small print.
The coolest cloth we sell and the one that wrinkles within the hour. Garment-washed so it arrives soft; 165 to 280 gsm depending on the piece. Buy it if you can live with the creases, because nothing else breathes like it.
Poplin, canvas and twill. Smoother, more opaque and far less creased than linen, and slightly warmer for it. The poplin is the shirt for an office; the twill is the overshirt for an evening by the water.
A 55/45 blend. Most of the coolness, about half the creasing, softer from the first wear. It pills very slightly at the cuffs for a few washes, which pure linen never does. The drawstring trousers and the chore overshirt are made of it.
Paper straw is a twisted paper yarn, braided and sewn in a spiral. It is light and even and does not splinter, and it is not for rain: a shower spots it and a soaking softens the brim for good. Only the packable hat and the linen bucket hat go in a bag.
Shirts, shorts, dresses and skirts run XS to XXL on a women’s block, a men’s block or one unisex block, and the page says which. Trousers are sized by the waist, W26 to W38. Hats come in S, M and L by head circumference. The size guide has the flat measurements for all of it.
A few pieces a year. Each one was worn for a summer by somebody here before it went on sale.
Grams per square metre for every cloth and grams for every hat. “Lightweight” means a number here, not a mood.
A seam that opens or a button that comes off within 3 years of delivery is repaired at our cost, postage both ways. Fading, creasing and snags are not covered and we say so.
Linen is cut and sewn in Alcoy, trousers in Ontinyent, cotton in Mataró, hats in Valencia. Each page says which.
Nothing printed or embroidered on the outside. A small size tab inside the side seam, and a care label you can cut out.
When a shade leaves the range its last run is reduced against the price it sold for over the previous 30 days. Never more than a few pieces, never more than 18%.
“I ordered the wide trousers by my actual waist measurement for once instead of guessing a letter, and they fit. The page said the knees would bag by evening and they did, exactly as described. I bought the ink pair a month later.”
