Dresses
Button-through, tiered, shirt dresses and slip styles with lining where the fabric needs it. Bias-cut and straight-grain programmes both run here.
Washed linen dresses, shirts, wide-leg trousers and shorts — cut, sewn, garment-dyed and pressed in Jiangyin, Jiangsu. 100 pieces per style and colour, with washed swatches before you commit, so the hand-feel in your hand is the hand-feel in the carton.
The range
Linen is a fabric that punishes shortcuts. Cut it before it is washed and the garment you ship is not the garment you approved — so washing happens before the cutting table, not after.
Button-through, tiered, shirt dresses and slip styles with lining where the fabric needs it. Bias-cut and straight-grain programmes both run here.
Camp collars, band collars, boxy crops and oversized shirts — with shell, corozo or imitation horn buttons to your hardware spec.
Wide-leg, pleated, drawstring and elasticated back-waist styles; shorts with or without lining. Pockets are bar-tacked where they take load.
Matched shirt-and-short programmes dyed in a single lot so the two pieces match in daylight, not only under factory lighting.
Specification
Working with us
Linen relaxes and contracts for the first two washes. We pre-wash before cutting and declare the residual figure. If your tolerance is tighter than the fabric allows, we will say so before sampling instead of discovering it at final inspection.
Natural linen takes dye unevenly, which is the charm and the risk. Single-lot dyeing keeps a co-ord matched; lab dips approved in writing keep the next run recognisable as the same colour.
Linen frayed at an overlocked edge will not survive a season. French and flat-felled seams cost more per unit and are the reason a linen shirt still looks intentional after ten washes.
