The shirt is made from an 11-wale cord, made from 100% cotton by a mill in Lancashire. It’s a hard-wearing cloth — doesn’t pill, doesn’t wear through, can be washed again and again — but also has a very soft handle.
The shirt has a gently rounded penny collar, with a very narrow tie-space. The second-from-top button sits in close proximity to the top one, so if wearers don’t button all the way up, the next best thing isn’t far off. The cuffs on the shirt have slightly rounded ends, mirroring the collar.
The shirt has a half-hidden placket — top four buttons are not hidden; bottom four are — which gives the appearance that the shirt has been pulled on over the head, when, in fact, it hasn’t. Buttons are real horn. Made in the Midlands, they’re light tortoiseshell in colour, and have a dimple in the middle.
The flip-side of the cord, the side that may touch the skin, is particularly warm, soft brushed cotton.
As worn
The gent here is 5’9″ and is wearing size S. He has a chest size of 38″, and there are reports — neither confirmed nor denied — that he weighs in just below 12 stone.
Makers of
The cord used here is made by a mill in Lancashire in north-west England. Cotton and cord have rolled of its line for nearly a century and a half. Industry-leading methods of weaving, dyeing, and finishing — unchanged in decades — along with steadfast adherence to quality, result in some truly first-rate cloth.
The dark horn buttons are made — that’s cut, dyed, and polished — by the last remaining manufacturer of horn and corozo button in England. Based in the West Midlands, the factory has been in the hands of the same family since opening in the mid-1800s: five generations of top-quality button-making know-how.
The garment is made and finished in a small factory in North London, which excels with outerwear, shirts, and trousers. It’s a place of meticulous cutters, unflappable seamsters and seamstresses, and a well cared-for and marvellous-looking contraption for making button-holes.
