Deep Blue Linen Shirt





Deep Blue Linen Shirt
100% Italian linen
The ultimate classic for the summer. Seen from countless classics on the silver screen from Bond to Plein Soleil, deep blue linen is something none of us is unfamiliar. Whether you plan to wear plain white bottoms or mix-coloured seersuckers for the rivieras, khaki chinos or olive cargo trousers in the city, this deep blue would always remain a surefire without much thought into styling. This piece is easy to pair with its tonal counterpart, even with navy, or to go contrasty combo otherwise.
Woven solely in pure linen, one may consider this a resort shirt to add to their stylish outfit itinerary during a holiday destination sojourn, alternatively a feel-good piece during your temporary stay on the beach club. This casual shirt can also serve as your sartorial upgrade when you need a sports jacket when a dress code is compulsory during the evening.
Linen also serves a functional purpose as it possesses a quick-dry effect and ventilating property due to its looser weaving structure, allowing wearers to enjoy their best under the heat. It is also traditionally perceived as a luxurious option for summer shirting.
This design comes with our classic wide spread collar, a clean front, side pleats at the back and hand-cut barrel cuffs.
Pair this with: any colour except for its matching shade. Perfect for prime summer. Wear it solo with any of our Civilman Trousers, or under the Featherweight Hopsack Blazer in Navy or Boating Blazer in Dark Beige/Ink, or Lazyman Jacket in White/Tan Seersucker during your stay in resorts with a pair of shorts or drawstring trousers. Make sure not to miss out your espadrilles and sunnies.

How we style this

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

Japanese Seersucker, 100% Cotton
If we were to think of a trouser design that stands for the 2000s, it oughts to be a pair of drawstrings thus far. As much as we adore casual styles, this is not a sign of us giving in to the apathetic (can’t-be-bothered) attitude. The two are distinctly different.
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this pair of breezy seersucker trousers injects with a dose of Italian Riviera chic, suitable to wear on both the beach and the city.
The modern drawstring waistband detailing does not only offer flexibility to the waist, but it essentially adorns the more casual aesthetic, also differentiating from our classically tailored trousers.
We specifically sourced a lighter weight seersucker from Japan to compliment the more casual look. Wavy in texture, flowy but tapered in cut with single reverse pleats, also equipped with welted side and back pockets, one can indulge in this pair of everyday trousers with utmost comfort while retaining a clean and smart look. Suitable for styling with just anything ranging from a t-shirt to a sports coat.
Hem can be rolled up to mimic the look of a trouser cuff if necessary. We recommend leaving it as it is.
Pair this with: cream, navy or brown. Perfect for spring/summer worldwide. Wear it with our Terry Popover in Cloud White during your stay in resorts with a pair of espadrilles and favourite pair of sunnies
Also available in: navy/white ‘ripple’ stripe, terracotta and pickle green
Care tips: Due to the nature of the cloth, a total of 2cm length shrinkage may apply from the first few machine washes.

100% Camelhair
Designed with our modus operandi in mind: comfort is the modern luxury. The use of fabrication for this Lazyman Jacket amalgamates luxury with functionality to its greatest extent.
The Lazyman Jacket is The Anthology’s signature product — an unconstructed jacket made for the modern man. It is designed to be worn just like your normal blazer or sport jacket. The product features 3 functional pockets, rollable sleeves and adjustable side tabs at the back.
The camelhair we use for this jacket model is entirely different from the one we applied to our coat, starting from weight to finishing. Like cashmere, this divine piece slides off the finger when being handled. It carries a fulsome glazed buttery handle, with no fewer thanks to the understated sheen of the natural fibre and softness. Camelhair, however, is more advanced as a fabric for a lightweight jacketing piece. It serves as a great medium as an insulator and a trusty warmer, easily adjusting to the wearer's body heat from day to night, dusk till dawn. We consider this to be a blanket that can be draped on the body anytime during the day, while offering a piece that offers excellent comfort with subtle nuances. In addition, it is more durable than superfine cashmere, making it a good fit for a structureless garment. The overall look is humble, but the wearing experience is superior. Right up your alley if 'quiet opulence' is your kind of thing, this will be the one.
Pair this with:
Brown/cream/blue or white. Perfect for the fall with our Civilman Trousers in White Denim, also classic denim or chinos.
Also available in other fabrics.
