Its urban, highly practical collections are simple without ever feeling ordinary, earning the support of discerning fans. Smooth Broadcloth, Made Possible by Fine-Count YarnCrafted from 100% cotton broadcloth. The fabric uses 120/2 yarn—two exceptionally fine 120-count yarns twisted together—and is woven at high density.The fine yarn gives the fabric a smooth touch, while the dense weave creates an elegant sense of structure despite its lightweight feel. The result is a clean, refined surface that sets it apart from a typical casual shirt.Soft and smooth against the skin, the fabric works beautifully on its own and is equally easy to wear as a light layer during transitional seasons.Simple by Nature, Thoughtful Down to the ButtonsThe shirt features a classic regular collar with a timeless, understated shape. Precisely because the design is so versatile, the beauty of the fabric and the balance of the silhouette stand out all the more.The buttons are shell buttons engraved with the brand's original mark. Their subtle natural character provides just the right accent to the minimal design.A box pleat at the back creates additional room and enhances the relaxed feel of the boxy silhouette.A simple pocket at the left chest adds practical functionality suited to everyday wear.The cuffs feature a classic buttoned construction, creating a clean look around the wrists while also allowing the sleeves to be rolled up for a more relaxed style.The hem is finished with a gentle curve. It sits neatly when tucked into trousers, while wearing it untucked creates a light, natural line characteristic of a classic shirt.Relaxed, Without Looking Loose.The silhouette is boxy with generous room through the body. It feels relaxed without clinging to the body's lines, while still retaining the clean, composed character of a classic shirt.Pair it with wide trousers for a contemporary relaxed look, or with slacks for a clean and understated style. It also layers naturally over a T-shirt and shorts for a more casual approach.On days when you find yourself wondering what to wear, this is the kind of shirt you can always rely on. Easy to pair with almost anything while still bringing a sense of order to an outfit, it is a standard that feels distinctly UNIVERSAL PRODUCTS.
