Brushed Cotton
The story

Brushing lifts the fibre ends out of the weave on the inside face, so the cloth traps a layer of air against you without getting any heavier. Ours is woven in Portugal, mostly on plain cotton, with one quality carrying one percent elastane. The patterns are woven in rather than printed: check, houndstooth and a fine stripe. Brushed cloth reads matte instead of crisp, which is why these sit closer to knitwear than to a poplin shirt.

Why choose it

For the months when a shirt has to do some of the work a jumper would.

01

Warmth without weight

The raised interior traps air, so the shirt insulates at the same cloth weight.

02

Woven patterns

Check, houndstooth and stripe are built into the cloth, not printed onto it.

03

Give where it counts

One quality carries one percent elastane, in a drawstring trouser and a camp-collar shirt.

What you pay for

Maytown Shirt: €114 here. €169 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
€56,21

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.
