Our take on a classic men’s shirt, the collarless Alpha Buttondown has a boxy cropped fit. In a crisp medium weight cotton with a playful zig zag appliqué border. Design inspiratio n can come from many places at once. The triangular embroidery motif can be traced back to early 18th century quilting, when the popular pattern was called a “dogtooth border.” The pattern also references handmade Rarámuri garments made by Tarahumara women in rural Chihuahua, Mexico. A portion of our profits for this shirt are donated to Fondo Semillas, a feminist fund that supports indigenous women, youth, and marginalized groups in Mexico. Show more
