Bigman Shirt - Slate
Bigman Shirt - Slate
100% Cotton
Inspired by midcentury work shirts, this is a big, relaxed shirt that emphasises on a straighter fit, with dual large chest pockets for a true presentation of utilitarian and fundamentalism. With a strong focus on the use of sturdy textiles and double-needle stitching, the reinforced seams provide both durability and a contrasting design detail, making it ideal for heavy-duty use. This versatile work shirt can be comfortably layered over or under other garments.
We continue to explore the diverse possibilities of pure cotton. For this design, we used special nep yarn, resulting in a robust textile with a grainy texture and flecks for tactile and visual interest. This texturised cotton mimics chambray while avoiding the typical workers' blue, offering a masculine yet sophisticated tonal feel. Although it starts with a strong handle, it will soften over time.
Pair this with: Canvas Pleated Wide Trousers in biscuit or white, Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts in navy or any Civilman Trousers.
Also available in ghost grey and white seersucker, Aegean stripes, and off-white

We continue to work with cotton and linen, refining our craft by experimenting with various weights, thicknesses, sturdiness, and structures. This transeasonal piece features high cotton content for robustness, with linen adding a subtle voile texture. Unlike chambray, it uses undyed, single-coloured yarns, preserving the natural fibres’ graceful colour without additional bleaching or dyeing.

We are delighted to co-create this street slipper with Bowhill & Elliott, the last remaining slipper maker in the UK. This esteemed house still upholds the traditional ethos of "make in the back, sell in the front," with the entire shoemaking process taking place within two floors.
The upper pattern of the street slipper is meticulously hand-cut from a single piece, resulting in a more fluid and seamless design. Departing from the conventional Albert-style evening slipper, this tailored creation features a shorter vamp and eliminates sharp turns on the tongue, maintaining a consistently soft contour. This complements the natural curves of our tailoring, allowing for a more casual styling option. Imagine a standard slip-on loafer, but refined with one-piece leather and a thin, hand-attached sole that closely hugs the bottom of the shoe, exuding an understated elegance. It pairs beautifully with trousers, denim, and shorts alike.
Crafted from grained deerskin in mocha, the upper is both supple and durable, allowing for comfortable movement in this hand-lasted slipper. This design elevates the common loafer, adding an extra touch of sophistication and individuality to your ensemble.
Summary:
- UK sizing
- Mocha deerskin upper
- Single leather sole. Topy (rubber) soles are recommended to be attached by your local cobbler before wearing

85% Cotton, 8% Ramie, 7% Linen
For the first time, we’ve let the cut of our trousers be the pièce de résistance, emphasizing form and flow.
These 'leisure trousers' feature a free-flowing silhouette that transitions effortlessly from a straight wide leg to a bootcut, exuding presence and drama. They showcase a soft, unstructured 'Hollywood' waist, offering a moderate high-rise fit that perfectly complements their wide-legged design. Crafted without waistbands and double forward pleats, these trousers sit higher on the waist without restricting comfort, providing a liberating fit.
The fabric is an exceptional duck canvas crafted from a blend of cotton, ramie, and linen. The predominant cotton content provides structure, while the linen and silk-like ramie enhance the smooth handle and moisture-wicking properties, adding a hint of silkiness without the fragility of fine silks. This distinctive weave stands apart from traditional robust duck canvas, offering a unique texture with no compromise on comfort.
Pair this with: Bigman shirt in off white or slate, Sport Jacket in grey herringbone, oatmeal herringbone, Long Sleeve Pique Polo in heather grey, navy, or chocolate brown and Lazyman Jacket in fawn herringbone or heather grey.
