SIMPLE SHIRT IN NAVY SILK CREPE DE CHINE

100% Mulberry silk, the weave is Crepe de Chine.

The shirt was crafted entirely by hand, essentially as it was a hundred years ago, using nothing more than a sewing machine, some thread and a needle. The stitching is durable and the shirt is made to last.

– The seams are flat-felled, meaning once sewn, turned over and sewn again to make them stronger.
– The sides are strengthened by hand-sewn gussets.
– The shirt has a split yoke in the back.
– The collars and cuffs are softly constructed by hand and are unfused.
– Misaligned sleeve and side seams for ease of movement.
– The buttons are natural shell and sewn by hand on to each shirt.

This fabric was spun into yarn by a small mill in Zhejiang province, historically known as the producers of some of the finest silks.

To ensure a long life of the shirt, it’s best to dry clean it. You can also hand wash in a soft soap and lay it flat to dry. Please do not machine-wash.
