Design Provenance

The artwork for this garment has been created excluisively for M.J. Bale by our accomplished Barcelona-based artist, Alicia. Born and raised in Spain, Alicia returned to the nostalgia of her youth spent at local beaches as inspiration for this drawing, and cites Pissarro and Monet as her main artistic influences. For this exclusive design, Alicia tried to generate a sense of movement in her drawings, “as if the air were gently moving them,” she says.

Construction

M.J. Bale shirts feature all the hallmarks of the British shirt making tradition. Our Casual Fit 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.
