The Most Versatile Winter Shirts

Corduroy has become such a key autumn and winter fabric, after spending many years in fashion's graveyard! Unfairly maligned, corduroy is a brilliant cloth for introducing texture and tactility to your outfits. Our Mersey cord is constructed from a fine wale cotton corduroy so from a distance you can't really see the wales, it's only when you get up close that you realise it's corduroy. The fabric is incredibly soft, and the micro wales to a great job of reacting to the light, creating a palpable sense of depth in the fabric.

Westwick

Constructed from a premium cotton, the Westwick fabric is a stunning olive green and aubergine check that we have used to craft both our preppy button-down Brook shirt as well as our Treviscoe overshirt. Were as other shirts might focus more on the texture, the Westwick lets the check pattern do all the heavy lifting. The combination of the autumnal tones give a real sense of warmth, and are surprising easy to style with other deep tones as well as a light palette of cream or white.

Wyatt

The Wyatt is one of our key winter shirting fabrics this season, constructed from 100% cotton with a subtle herringbone weave that gives the cloth the slightest hint of a raised nap. It's beautifully soft, with a very natural drape across the shoulders. We've used it to create a three colour variations of our New York Special shirt, which was influenced by a shirt David Byrne wore in the seminal 1984 concert film 'Stop Making Sense.'

Indigo

While not a shirt fabric in itself, it would be remiss not to include our indigo-dyed cloths in this edit because they make up an excellent collection for autumn and winter. That inimitably rich blue hue comes from the indigo dye, which used to be natural but is largely synthetically produced these days. The effect is nevertheless the same, with beautiful nuances of colour that change with every wash. We've used various degrees of indigo washes and rinses to create a spectrum of stylish shirts this season.

Holloway

The Holloway fabric comes in a soft brown tone perfect for autumn and winter styling, pairing well with similar beige and tan tones, as well as the gamut of earthy green colours. On close inspection you'll notice that the Holloway has a diagonal weave - that's because it's a twill. Twills are woven by alternating the direction of the weft thread over one or more warp threads, resulting in a diagonal pattern that is repeated on both sides of the fabric, making for a very soft, durable, and breathable cotton cloth.
