The story behind

A masculine wardrobe staple, the short-sleeved t-shirt should be simple but sophisticated enough to go with cotton trousers or jeans, or even a smart blazer. This one is in machine-stitched pre-washed cotton, a treatment that gives more softness and resistance to the fibre. Its double flat-felled seams add comfort, flair and elegance to the look.

Style counsel: the perfect tee-shirt is neither too fitted nor too loose, and should cover the belt without hiding the trousers’ pockets.
