The story

Forty-four percent of this cloth is polyester, and that is the deliberate part. The cotton is knitted soft; the high-tech yarn worked in beside it is what lets the shirt be worn all day and never need an iron. Underneath the face colour sits a second one — a black weft behind the navy and the olive, white behind the light blue. Branded buttons run at the cuffs and at the foot of the placket. The cut is slim and the collar widespread.

Why choose it

For travel days and back-to-back meetings, when a board and an iron are not on offer.

01

No need to iron

That is the property this cloth is built for. If you do press it, the care label asks for low heat.

02

Cotton next to high-tech yarn

Soft knitted cotton on one side of the blend, engineered yarn on the other.

03

A weft in a second colour

Every colourway is knitted over a contrasting weft — black, or white behind the light blue.

04

Buttons that are ours

Branded buttons at the cuffs and at the bottom of the placket, on all three colours.

What you pay for

Specialist Shirt: €89 here. €139 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
€54,55

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.
