ZOTTOLO SHIRT IN HEAVY MATTE SILK

100% Mulberry silk in matte weave. This silk is washable by hand or machine.  

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. 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 an ease in movement.
– The buttons are mother-of-pearl 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.

For a long life of the shirt, it’s best to dry clean this shirt. It can also be hand-washed or washed in a machine.
