100% Egyptian Cotton Poplin, woven in Italy, sewn in Portugal.
Fresh off the looms, our 2010 Spring/Summer fabrics are ready to make into shirts just for you!
This fabric is from our Troglodyte Homunculus line of casual, pre-washed shirts. The standard model is the THM1 which is a fitted, very soft style to be worn over jeans or shorts normally. The THM1 is pocket-less and has a one-button cuff. We use a natural enzyme-based wash to give the shirts the softest hand, and keep in mind these are pre-shrunk so they might run a bit small if you’re not used to them (good idea to try the size up in that case).
If you’re already a customer, it couldn’t be easier. You know the quality: the 100% finest Egyptian cottons (and linens) woven in Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal; the Mother-of-Pearl buttons farmed off the coast of Australia and finely crafted in Italy, with unmatched strength and lustre. The highest-quality construction using the single-needle method and super-tight stitching. And you know your options: collars, cuffs, buttons, plackets, lining, pockets, the works…you just name it. If you want changes just let us know how much (hopefully you lost some inches in the belly, but we didn’t). It’s very common to make small adjustments after you’ve lived with your shirts for some time.
Please call or email to confirm that you have a working pattern on file, or if you have any fabric or pattern questions. Then order away!
If you don’t have a pattern with us yet, hopefully these fabrics will inspire you to rush into one of our two NYC locations and get started. If this isn’t convenient, call or email to discuss potential options (we’re currently working on an online self-measurement plan).
Be sure to note the expected delivery date is usually 4-6 weeks from order date, but some of the fabrics are not quite ready yet, and those are noted with later deliveries.
As always, we hope you love our shirts.
