It all starts with the fabric

We make designing your own shirt as easy as pie. Pick a shirt in the fabric you like, customise it just the way you want, answer a few simple questions to get your perfect size, add your initials to the shirt if you’re feeling a bit extra…. you know the drill. 

But what do you really know about the fabric you’ve selected? We use only the highest quality fabrics sourced from the finest mills across the world in timeless (and sometimes quirky) designs that will give you shirts that you can turn to again and again. 

We believe that the most sustainable piece of clothing is the one you don’t buy at all. So when we source our fabrics we make sure they’re impeccably woven so they last you for years to come. We want you to wear your clothes for years, even if that means you shop less from us. 

Here’s a quick guide on some of the different fabrics we offer.
