The story

This shirt is knitted, not woven. Its base is a piqué in 100% cotton, so the cloth carries structure of its own without a pattern on it. The knit is soft, and that softness is the reason it was chosen for a shirt. It is cut slim with a widespread collar and runs in four colours, navy and dark green among them. The shirts are made in Laos. Nothing about the care is unusual: a 30°C wash, out of the dryer, and an iron inside out at medium heat when you want it crisp.

Why choose it

For the man who wants the ease of a knit without giving up a collar.

01

One fibre, nothing added

100% cotton, with no elastane and no synthetic in the blend.

02

Piqué as the base

The shirt is built on a knitted piqué, which is where its surface comes from.

03

Soft, and chosen for it

Softness is the stated reason for the knit, it is what makes the shirt comfortable to wear.

04

Four colours

Navy and dark green are two of them; the range stays dark across all four.

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

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
mild detergent, gentle spin (400-700RPM)

air dry instead
