FAQs

What material is this shirt made of?

The shirt is crafted from pure cotton sateen, which provides a subtle lustre and a smooth feel.

How should I style the volume sleeves?

The volume sleeves are designed to be a statement. They can be worn on their own with simple bottoms for a dramatic look, or balanced with more structured pieces like blazers or tailored trousers.

Is this shirt suitable for formal business attire?

The shirt is best suited for business casual settings. While the fabric and collar are polished, the volume sleeves might be considered too fashion-forward for very conservative formal business environments.

How do I care for the cotton sateen fabric?

It is recommended to machine wash cold or hand wash, avoid bleach, and iron on a low heat setting. Professional dry cleaning is also an option to maintain the fabric's quality.

What occasions is this shirt ideal for?

This shirt is ideal for weekend brunches, gallery visits, business casual events, and evening engagements where you want to make a subtle statement.

Does the regular fit allow for layering?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to allow for comfortable layering under waistcoats, blazers, or cardigans during cooler months.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing

Gently iron the shirt on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Ensure proper storage to minimize creasing.

Fabric loses its lustre

Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully, avoiding harsh detergents. Consider professional dry cleaning for optimal fabric care.

Sleeves appear too bulky for a specific outfit

Experiment with tucking the front of the shirt in, or pairing with structured outerwear like a sharp blazer to balance the silhouette. Alternatively, consider rolling or pushing the sleeves up slightly.
