FAQs

What material is this shirt made from?

The shirt is crafted from a techno cotton woven fabric.

What is the fit of the shirt?

The shirt features a regular fit, designed to be flattering without restricting movement.

How should I wash this shirt?

It is recommended to machine wash cold with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Cool iron if needed, avoiding direct heat on the metallic hardware.

Can I wear this shirt for formal occasions?

While designed with sophisticated details, its casual sophistication makes it more suitable for smart-casual or business-casual settings rather than highly formal events. It pairs well with tailored trousers for a polished look.

What does 'half-placket' mean?

A half-placket refers to a shirt opening that extends only partway down the front, typically fastened with buttons, as opposed to a full placket which goes all the way to the hem.

How do I style the metallic hardware buttons?

The metallic hardware buttons add a contemporary accent. They pair well with minimalist jewelry and can be a focal point when the half-placket is partially open.

Is this shirt suitable for different seasons?

With short sleeves, it is ideal for warmer weather. It can be layered under jackets or blazers for cooler temperatures, making it a versatile piece year-round.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears creased after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Hang the shirt to dry immediately after washing or cool iron if necessary, being mindful of the metallic hardware.

Metallic buttons lose their shine

Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use metal polish directly on the buttons.

Fabric feels stiff

Techno cotton is designed to have a structured feel. Washing the garment according to care instructions may soften the fabric over time. Avoid excessive heat during drying.
