Transeasonal Styling With The White Knitted T-Shirt
Autumn days fall by as fast as the leaves from the trees, and the sun rises and sets as if on fast-forward. With places cooling down, layering is back in the game.
From a solo top in the summer to now a layering piece and an undershirt, the white knitted t-shirt can serve multiple functions in the wardrobe. We think all our Anthologists should own at least one of these. Today’s feature is dedicated to this essential piece, and here are the ways to wear it across seasons.
Keeping the linen jacket and high-twisted wool trousers in the loop. Varying between locations, one can adapt by swapping one or both layers to heavier pieces, such as a worsted or Shetland jacketing - easy styling, with minimal restraints.
100% Supima Cotton
Our interpretation of a casual t-shirt that frames a clean and smart look. An idea inspired by 1950s sportswear, it is the culmination of contemporary and ‘high vintage’.
The style features a simple design with specific proportions — a higher neck, ribbed sleeve and collar, shorter body and longer ribbed hem. This allows the t-shirt to hug around your trousers’ waistband without going too long or needing to be tucked in, maintaining good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.
This product is made of fine-gauge organic cotton, handpicked and sustainably farmed. (Please read our Ethical Sourcing and Production Statement) Incorporating full knitted construction, this breathable summer knitwear gives a defined body and contour. To enhance the luxurious silken finish and soft hand, the garment has gone through a tumble washing procedure in a final step unique to The Anthology.
Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a suit, sport jacket or Lazyman jacket. Colour-wise we suggest blue, brown, grey and white. Sneakers and espadrilles are also suitable.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only

Khamai single strap slip-on loafers in box calf and wild boar, a Stefano Bemer special for The Anthology.
We are honoured to collaborate with Stefano Bemer, the Patek Philippe in the gentleman’s shoe industry to bring an original design to life - a single strap slip-on loafer. This is a creation that encapsulates The Anthology’s savoir-faire: the versatility to dress up and down, and the ever-so modern design with an old-school flair.
With an ever-changing colour under varying intensity and warmth of light, the shoe shifts between espresso and black. The shoes are exorbitantly hand-polished from their default dark brown to a deep espresso with a mixture of dark brown and black polish to achieve the rich almost-black shade.
Having a partial English identity in the brand, we particularly placed the strap detailing at a unique position as if in imitation of a modified vamp, making the front of the shoe appear visually shorter. We took away an Italian shoe's elongated front look while retaining its original fluidity and assertive personality, incorporating Italian’s fluidity in curves and relentless audacity in design innovation. The most noteworthy/remarkable thing about the design is the ingenious mix of calf and wild boar, with a refined cast silver buckle attached. It is purely decorative but speaks a lot about the design lexicon of the label.
Executed with the highest level of craftsmanship possible within this price point, the design features a hand-stitched apron on the vamp, a stupendous hand welted sole with a soft bevelled waist, which is all Stefano Bemer’s hand-grade default. We specifically made it a seamless back for a more ‘completed’ look with a dynamic curvature around the heel cup and a subtly slanted heel that makes the back of the shoe look even sleeker and resemble the feature of a bespoke shoe.
This is a creation that encapsulates The Anthology’s savoir-faire: the versatility to dress up and down, and the ever-so modern design with an old-school flair. Wear yours with anything from jeans to three-piece striped suits or a powerful double-breasted suit.
This design is based on Stefano Bemer’s C Last, in E width. This product also includes lasted shoe trees, a handcrafted wooden box and individual wool shoe bags made from remnants of tailoring cloth, all handcrafted in Florence, Italy.

Wear it with a short scarf, whether it be woven in lightweight cashmere, printed cotton, or patterned silks. Keeping warm is only one of the reasons to retain them around the neck, but the indicator of a seasonal change and stylistic statement comes as a main narrative. A bandana would also make a striking pairing.
Not cold enough for winter fabrications to take over while not willing to let go of linens yet? The long-sleeve polo with the white knitted t-shirt as an undershirt is a unique pairing we adore with dressing in casual tailoring today. Another layer of warmth comes in addition, it is the delectable choice of giving contrast between the two that elevates the look, bringing a touch of casualness within the elegance of tailoring.
100% Cotton
Bridging the gap between a smart shirt and collarless sweater, the long-sleeved style polo is a piece that combines both elegance and casualness that allows it to be dressed solo or under a tailored jacket.
Made from a Japanese cotton piqué that will prove comfortable all seasons, the fabric is specially finished for a cool, dry hand that naturally wicks moisture, yet with drape and body. Each colour is designed with a considered palette, ensuring to be able to sync with any sport jackets or outerwear pieces.
The style features a carefully sculpted spread collar, with a specially designed v-shaped chest gusset accentuating an open-collar silhouette without the need to lower the chest opening. With meticulously hand-sewn bar tacks, barrel cuffs, and finely finished internal seams throughout, the overall garment is carefully considered and constructed for beautiful ageing, preventing excessive stretching and helping the polo shirts retain their shape and structure over time.

We are honoured to create this collaboration model crafted by one of the last remaining English shoemakers, the formidable, dependable, failproof Crockett & Jones.
Bodley is a half-strap penny loafer designed with clean, elegant lines, such as the refined butt-stitched apron and an oval cutout.
On a 376 last, it features a modestly short vamp which is casual enough to be paired with jeans, chinos and our Civilman trousers, yet dressy enough to be taken back to more formal settings when a suit is called for. Although based on an iconic C&J shoe last, the heel counter was also modified from its predecessor, the 314 last, to hug tighter around the back of the heel for a better fit, also to accentuate the divine lines of the shoe.
This design is done in an exclusive espresso burnished calf, with a single leather sole, Goodyear welted. Box and individual shoe bags included.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 376 last
• Espresso calf upper
• Single leather sole
