Provenance
Fibre History
Cotton has been used in the construction of tailored men's shirts since the 1700s. It superseded wool and linen as the shirtmaker's fibre of choice because of its luxurious next-of-skin feel, ensuring all-day comfort.
Premium cotton fibres, such as the ones used in this M.J. Bale shirt, are soft, smooth and breathable, allowing for better airflow and moisture absorption. Shirts constructed from premium cotton also have superior durability, retaining their shape and colour after multiple washes.
Additionally, cotton is hypoallergenic, meaning it is gentle on skin and non-irritative.
Performance
Construction
M.J. Bale shirts feature all the hallmarks of the British shirt making tradition. Our Classics Label shirts feature single-needle French side seams with shaped side gussets, four-piece back split yoke, pleated cuffs, a long shirt tail, non-fused collar & cuff interlinings and constructed front placket. These details contribute to a superior fitting garment and more durable wear.
