To wear linen is to embrace the season. A colour palette guaranteed to fade gracefully and a gently rumpled texture are the unmistakable calling cards of a great summer shirt.

This particular cloth is woven in a classic check, with colours typical of the natural dyeing process madras cotton undergoes, and as such is guaranteed to only get better with washing and wear.

With the same single-needle construction de rigueur to Drake’s shirting and whipped mother of pearl buttons, the popover style shirt features a loop button fastening, interior pocket and smock sleeves and collar. It's a versatile piece of clothing that will see you through the summer in style.
