100 HANDS
BLACK LINE OXFORD BUTTON DOWN BLUE
-
We'd consider ourselves to be BD oxford aficionados and this one from 100 Hands is quite luxurious. While the cloth is extremely smooth and soft to the touch it still retains the grainy, textured look of cotton oxford. It's also of lighter weight than most of the oxfords we encounter. It features a 9cm button down collar and a darted back. Additional details include lots of hand sewing at the collar, armholes and front placket.

Run by couple Ashkat and Varvara Jain, 100 Hands has quickly emerged as a maker of "perhaps the finest shirts in the world" according to Simon Crompton of Permanent Style. While the company is headquartered in the Netherlands all their shirts are produced outside Amritsar, India under the watchful eye of Ashkat's brother. With six generations of involvement in textiles and shirt making the Jain family is no stranger to what it takes to make a truly special garment. Approximately 100 hands are involved in the production of each shirt and their Black Line boasts individually hand cut fabric, hand ironing after each stage of production, handsewn collars and plackets; and semi handsewn armholes.
