Shirt options
We offer a wide selection of shirts including long sleeve, short sleeve and our stylish polo collection.
Long sleeve linen shirts
Our long sleeve linen collection is the most obvious choice for shorts, especially on hot summer days. Linen is a superior fabric to cotton during hot conditions. Further our long sleeve shirts can easily be rolled up during the day and rolled back down in the evening when temperatures start to drop.
Short sleeve cotton shirts
It makes sense that if you are on holiday and it is really hot to opt for a short sleeve shirt. Our short sleeve shirts cover all options from our navy twill shirt to the white with Liberty print. You should always pack a short sleeve shirt in your suitcase.
Polo shirts
Our polo shirts are made from exceptionally light, soft and luxurious pique cotton from Italian shirting mill Canclini and are ideal for those really hot summer days. Like our men’s and ladies tailored shirts they are each finished with our signature styling. This includes printed fabric inside the collar along with a contrasting buttonhole on the collar. We offer two types of polo shirts; those with a standard collar like the Fawkham and those with a granddad collar like the Adisham. The contrasting prints are either paisley or one of Liberty London’s famous prints.
Long sleeve cotton shirts
Perfect option for the evening or those milder days. Our long sleeve cotton shirts add a level of formality and tailoring to your outfit for those smarter moments.
Chino shorts
Our chino shorts are made from 97% cotton twill with 3% elastane and is sourced from Yorkshire mill Brisbane Moss. The elastane offers that extra level of stretch in just the right places and makes our shorts extra comfortable to wear during the day. We use two weights in our current collection which weigh between 215 and 255 Gsm. If you are going somewhere really hot like the Caribbean then we would recommend the light weight option which is available in tobacco, light blue, grey and red.
Our chino shorts are styled with classic features you would expect from a well tailored pair of short trousers. This includes front slanted pocket and rear double welt pockets with pocket flaps. The button fastened flaps ensure the welt pocket maintains its shape and doesn’t start to sag. If you prefer a cleaner finish you can always tuck the flaps into the pocket. Our chino shorts give you both options.
No expense is spared in using the finest materials for our chino shorts which includes sourcing our pocket linings from the same mills we use for our shirting cloth. We also use real buffalo horn buttons for durability along with a YKK zip for the front fly.
Like our create your own chinos we offer our shorts in a wide selection of waist sizes including odd short sizes like 35” and 37”. Unlike many trouser brands, we cut to size. No vanity sizing so strongly recommend you measure your own waist or a pair of trousers you currently own before ordering.
Product Made in England
Our men’s shirts, polo’s and chino shorts are all individually hand cut and made at our Suffolk factory in England. Our British tailors and seamstresses combine traditional British tailoring with modern production processes to ensure a first class finish that will last wash after wash.

Beige Chino Shorts
A wardrobe and summer staple, you can’t go wrong with this combination. Not only does the navy and beige complement each other, but both colours are so versatile that they will work with almost any option you currently have. Pair with trainers, flip flops, boat shoes or a pair of suede loafers depending on the occasion. They all suit the outfit.
2. Blue linen shirt with white chino shorts

White Chino Shorts
For those who can be trusted to wear white and keep them clean, this is without doubt our favourite outfit. White chino shorts or mens white trousers are a really great option for summer if you have the confidence to wear them. Our light blue linen shirt is a stunning design which we are really proud to offer. The shade is spot on combined with stylish contrasting brown corozo buttons and the ever popular “queue at the zoo” Liberty print for the interior collar and cuffs. Perfect for those smart casual occasions at the beach or out for dinner in the evening. Make a real statement with this outfit and pair with suede tan loafers.
3. Pink polo with navy chino shorts

Navy Chino Shorts
For those men who are comfortable wearing pink, our pink British made polo shirt and French navy chino shorts are the perfect outfit for you. We cannot understate the importance of a French Navy over other colours. This bold shade really does bring your outfit to life and is far better than alternative shades. Keep away from dark navy which most people will wrongly assume is a faded black pair of shorts.
The pink polo is expertly styled with a subtle navy paisley granddad collar which elevates both the polo shirt and the overall outfit.
4. White short sleeve Shirt with stone chino shorts

Stone Chino Shorts
No summer wardrobe for a suitcase is complete without a short sleeve white short and stone chino shorts. Both are safe options that will work with other outfits and can easily be dressed up or down for the day or the evening. We really like our white shirt finished with contrasting Liberty print inside the collar and sleeves.
5. Blue denim shirt with red chino shorts

Often forgotten, light blue chino shorts are a great choice to wear with shirts. We have paired them with our short sleeve navy twill shirt that is finished with grey corozo buttons.
Caring for you shirt and chino shorts
When it comes to caring for your men’s shirts and chino shorts we recommend a 30 degree wash. When finished hang your shorts and shirts ASAP and never put them in the tumble dryer. Iron on the inside of the fabric using a medium heat.
