CHECKERED HANDLOOM SHIRT

A relaxed-fit Western shirt crafted from lightweight yarn-dyed handloom cotton, woven in Santipur, West Bengal. Inspired by classic cowboy shirting, it features a traditional Western yoke, flap pockets, and contrast white stitching throughout the yoke, collar, pockets  &cuffs.

The checks are woven directly into the fabric rather than printed, giving the cloth depth, character, and longevity. Woven on traditional handlooms where only a few metres can be produced each day, the fabric is exceptionally breathable, airy, and designed for warm weather. It softens beautifully with every wash, becoming more comfortable over time.

Many of the weavers behind these fabrics come from families that once wove the legendary Dhaka Jamdani textiles, among the most prized fabrics of British India. Finished with natural mother-of-pearl buttons and a relaxed silhouette, it is an easy everyday piece that pairs effortlessly with denim, shorts, or tailored trousers.

CRAFT: Santipur Handloom is a centuries-old weaving tradition from West Bengal, renowned for producing some of India's finest lightweight cotton fabrics. Each fabric is woven slowly on traditional handlooms using techniques passed down through generations.
