Our French Linen Riviera Shirt is made in Japan, using a light weight, breathable linen fabric with a silky finish, making it perfect for spring/summer weather.
It is an ode to the French holiday spirit, with the linen being grown in Northern France and the design inspired by the 50s lifestyle of the Hollywood elite meandering in the French Riviera.
It boasts a beautifully crafted one piece collar, giving the shirt a clean finish and achieving a wonderful collar roll under tailoring.
The one-piece collar is a refined design crafted from a single piece of fabric, seamlessly extending down from the collar to the front of the shirt to form the placket (rather than being stitched together like in a conventionally made shirt).
What elevates the one-piece collar is its graceful, continuous flow. Unlike conventional collars, which rely on a collar band, the absence of a collar band allows the collar to naturally curve with a luxurious, elegant “roll”, rather than a sharp fold.
This sophisticated construction requires exceptional craftsmanship and the expertise of a skilled pattern maker, making the one-piece collar a hallmark of only the finest made shirts.
In line with our philosophy of bringing the world’s finest quality garments to you, our French linen riviera shirt encapsulates the very best of French luxury combined with Japanese precision.
The linen fabric is made using only the longest linen fibres, grown in the Normandy region of France. This climate ensures that the linen material has a lustre and luxury hand feel whilst enabling maximum breathability, ensuring that your skin stays fresh in hot weather.
The shirt is then crafted in Japan by makers who are renowned for their steadfast commitment to the finest of details and fit.
The shirt is designed slightly roomier for a relaxed fit, in keeping with the holiday mood that the riviera shirt is intended to encourage. Having said that, its darker shades of navy and dark olive coupled with the linen’s clean, sleek finish also make the shirt sober enough for more formal city settings worn with smart trousers and a jacket.
Smoke coloured mother of pearl buttons to match the darker shades of navy and dark olive.
Colour of the linen fabric will fade slightly with wash and wear over time, resulting in a lovely patina and "lived in" feel that is characteristic of a lot of Japanese made garments.
