A light blue striped button down shirt in 100% luxury Egyptian Giza cotton, finished with a crisp white contrast button-down collar and white cuffs. Thin light blue and white stripes run down the body, two-button angled cuffs finish the sleeves, and a rounded chest pocket keeps it practical. Inside the collar band and cuffs, a colorful contrast trim in aqua, orange and purple shows when you roll a sleeve or open the collar. Every shirt is custom made to your measurements.
Why a white collar on a button down shirt?
Most contrast collar shirts pair a white collar with French cuffs and a spread collar, which makes them very formal. This shirt takes the same white-collar look and puts it on a relaxed button-down collar. The result sits between a business shirt and a weekend shirt: smart enough under a blazer, easy enough with chinos and no tie. That is why we list it as a semi-formal shirt.
The details
White button-down collar
The collar points button to the shirt front, so the collar keeps a soft roll and stays neat all day, with or without a tie. In white, it frames the face and lifts the light blue stripes.
Two-button angled cuffs
The white cuffs close with two buttons and have angled corners, a dressier take on a standard barrel cuff. No cufflinks are needed.
Contrast trim inside
The inner collar band and the inside of the cuffs are lined with aqua, orange and purple trim. It is a quiet detail most people only see when you move, and it gives the shirt personality.
Tab placket and rounded chest pocket
A tab placket runs down the front with white buttons, and a rounded chest pocket sits on the left side for a classic button down shirt look.
Light blue striped Egyptian Giza cotton
The cloth is 100% Egyptian Giza cotton, a long-staple cotton known for being soft, smooth and breathable. The thin light blue and white stripes read as a fresh pale blue from a distance and look sharp up close, so the shirt works in an office and on a weekend.

Frequently asked questions
What is a button down shirt?
A button down shirt has small buttons that fasten the collar points to the shirt front. It keeps the collar in place and gives a relaxed, classic look that works with or without a tie.

It is semi-formal. The white collar and cuffs make it dressier than a plain striped shirt, while the button-down collar keeps it relaxed. It suits business casual offices, dinners and smart casual events.
