The Button Down Collared Shirt
The Button Down collared shirt is one of the most important items in any man's wardrobe. Originating from the polo fields of England in the late 19th Century.
Polo players were required to wear a traditional collared shirt ; the buttons stopped it flapping around and from the function developed the form we know today.
Ours are Made in Italy from the very best Oxford Cotton and feature a slightly exaggerated collar making them just as great with or without a tie.
