Two-fold shirts in 100% cotton – in Classic Fit and Slimline

Above all, a good shirt has to do one thing in everyday life: sit cleanly, look well groomed and work reliably on its own, over knitwear or under a jacket.

That is exactly what our collection is designed for. Our shirts are made of 100% cotton in two-fold 100/2 x 100/2 with weave characteristics such as fil-à-fil, poplin or pinpoint Oxford. The fabric is soft and light in the hand, remains hard-wearing and shows excellent crease recovery – a clear advantage for long days at the office, on trips or at events.

Made in Portugal - with genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, removable collar stays, a fit-defining slightly longer cut and the two-part shoulder construction (split yoke) - these shirts are built for substance and everyday use.

Added to this are flat-felled seams on the sides and sleeves with a tight stitch density, plus cross-stitched buttons, a small extra button on the sleeve placket and the embroidered John Crocket lettering on the inside of the back yoke. Depending on the model, there is a chest pocket on the left front, along with a barrel cuff or double cuff.

The range is deliberately clearly structured: Kent, button-down and cutaway collars. Then there is Classic Fit or Slimline as well as regular and long sleeve lengths – so the shirt can be chosen precisely by collar shape, use and build.

Linen shirts in 100% linen – airy, temperature-balancing, with button-down collar

Our recommendation for hot summer days: our linen shirts.

Linen is breathable, temperature-balancing and wears airily light without losing its elegance. Our linen shirt is built as a classic and features a button-down collar with two buttons. Added to this are rounded cuffs, an extra button on the sleeve placket and a chest pocket on the left front. The buttons are made of genuine mother-of-pearl. Perfect for stylishly casual outfits or an informal business or festive look.

FAQ

What does two-fold yarn 100/2 x 100/2 mean?

Often also called 2-ply, it describes warp x weft. It means the fabric is woven from fine, two-fold yarn (Nm 100/2) in both the lengthwise direction (warp) and the crosswise direction (weft). The result is an exclusive shirting fabric that stands for high-quality, fine and hard-wearing quality.

How do Fil-à-Fil, poplin and pinpoint Oxford differ?

Fil-à-Fil (end-on-end) is a type of weave. It means yarn against yarn and is a structured, colour-woven fabric made up of two differently coloured threads (shirts SP2151 and SP21077). Poplin describes a dense over-under weave structure. This produces a strong, hard-wearing fabric that is not very prone to creasing, with a silky-looking surface. Shirts here come in solid/plain, gingham check, houndstooth, bold, candy, reverse and Bengal stripes as well as pinstripe. Pinpoint Oxford is a blend of poplin and Oxford, which gives the Oxford a finer feel and a lustrous surface. Oxford is distinguished by a basket-weave structure (shirt SP2480).

Which collar and fit combinations are available?

Kent is available in Classic Fit with a double cuff and in Slim Fit with a rounded two-button barrel cuff. Button-Down is only available in Classic Fit with a rounded two-button barrel cuff. Cut Away is only available in Slimline with a double cuff.

What is the advantage of regular and long sleeve lengths?

The additional choice of length helps to match the shirt cleanly to arm and body length. This reduces compromises in fit and ensures that the sleeves and body stay proportioned harmoniously. In a business context in particular, this makes a clear difference to the overall look.

What is decisive for a well-fitting shirt?

The slightly longer cut keeps the shirt cleanly tucked into the trousers. The two-part shoulder section, the so-called split yoke, improves the fit across the shoulders and supports a calmer line, particularly under a jacket or knitwear.

Are there any further construction details?

One important detail is the flat-felled seams on the sides and sleeves with a tight stitch density. They stand for clean workmanship and durability. In addition there are cross-stitched buttons that stay firmly in place in everyday wear, as well as a small extra button on the sleeve placket.

Which collar suits whom?

Kent is a versatile classic and stands for the classic business collar that works with or without a tie. Cut Away, for a more open, more striking neckline, looks distinctive under a jacket. Both collars are also a safe and elegant choice for formal outfits. Button-Down looks sportier and goes particularly well with tweed, knitwear, corduroy and smart casual.

Why is two-fold yarn particularly worthwhile for business shirts?

Because the high-quality two-fold cotton fabric, with its dimensional stability, stands for high durability and longevity. Cotton is also breathable, which creates a pleasant feel on the skin and ensures comfort throughout the day. And all of this with an excellent look and feel and a low susceptibility to creasing.
