The story

Ninety percent cotton, with ten percent merino wool in the cloth. The product details claim two things for it and nothing more: the comfort of cotton, and soft merino wool. It is cut slim, with a widespread collar and our own buttons at the cuffs and at the bottom of the placket. There are two colourways, and the shirts are made up in Portugal. Washing is ordinary: 30°C with a mild detergent, inside out with similar colours, then ironed inside out at low heat.

Why choose it

For a plain shirt in a cloth that is not entirely plain cotton.

01

Ten percent merino

The rest is cotton. All the details claim for the wool is that it is soft.

02

One fit, one collar

Slim through the body, widespread at the collar, in two colourways.

03

Buttons that are ours

Branded buttons at the cuffs and at the bottom of the placket.

What you pay for

Specialist Shirt: €119 here. €179 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Our margin
€58,35

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.

Care

Wash at 30°C
gentle spin (400-700RPM)
Iron at low heat

Do not bleach
mild detergent, similar colours
Do not tumble dry
keep it out of the dryer
