Sea Island Shirt

The history of Sea Island cotton

Sea Island cotton is an extremely coveted and noble cotton. Also known as "desire" cotton or the cashmere of cotton, it has very long fibers averaging over 35mm in length. Thanks to this exceptional length, the resulting threads are extremely fine and soft. This is why our shirt fabrics are silky and very comfortable to wear.

Sea Island cotton gets its name from Sea Island, a Caribbean island where weather conditions are ideal for growing this cotton. The proximity to the sea and sunshine are crucial for producing such rare cotton. Since the late 18th century, Sea Island cotton has been cultivated and used to weave shirts. Once you try on a Sea Island cotton shirt, you'll never want to wear anything else.

A shirt with character

This luxury shirt is a formal and elegant piece that you'll save for the most special occasions. However, you can wear it differently by pairing it in various ways. This shirt will always give you a chic and formal look. The white round collar creates a lovely retro-chic contrast with the fine blue stripes. A fabric band, the placket, conceals the Troca mother-of-pearl buttons and streamlines this Sea Island shirt.

Styling tips

This is a distinctive shirt that will undoubtedly be the centerpiece of your wardrobe, gentlemen. If you'd like some styling advice for pairing your Sea Island shirt, here are a few tips. First, wear it with a suit, tucked into your suit pants, and put on your jacket. You can choose to accessorize it for a more formal and "strict" look - we suggest an electric blue tie to add a touch of color to your outfit. If you prefer a less formal look, skip the tie - the round collar of this shirt already gives it plenty of style and elegance.
