Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts - Khaki
Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts - Khaki
65% Cotton, 35% Linen
Long, but right before your knees, keeping your proportions right, also exemplifying pleated perfection.
If a pair of shorts goes too long, covering one's knees, it makes one look short. If the shorts are too short and timid, they would look more like a pair of swim trunks, or worse, boxers. This artefact is all about striking the perfect balance, and we managed to find the unrivalled solution.
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this is a ‘modern-vintage’ design made in a cotton/linen blend as a quintessential item, suitable to wear on the beach, the city, or even an excursion.
The form of the shorts is the true essence — it embodies chic and comfort. With practicality in mind, the design comes with slight volume around the thigh and the opening, ensuring the piece is generous around the thigh part, allowing ventilation.
The use of cloth is also the highlight. Cotton, as the major constituent, upholds a supple and moist look to the general garment, smoothens up linen’s characteristically dry and crisp handle. It also offers a more structured body, making creases look less wrinkly. The appeal is reminiscent of traditional preppy or English country chinos, just with an extra touch of linen for a sense of modernity and practicality.
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 fabrication.
(We recommend the shorts hem to end right before your knees; otherwise, bring it to your alteration tailor for a simple alteration for the best result.)

Part of the house’s resort wardrobe and a reflection of our refined approach to everyday dressing, this classic polo is defined by its distinctive skipper-style open collar. Drawing from the spirit of coastal elegance, the design is understated yet expressive. Clean in form and precise in detail, the collar carries an effortless sense of flair, reinforced with ribbed construction to maintain its shape. Ribbed cuffs and hem further refine the proportions, framing the body with ease and definition.
The piece also highlights its choice of fabrication. The combination of cotton and linen gives extra breathability and character to the texture while maintaining a luxurious, supple hand. The purity of the blend also offers a natural stretch for the cloth to hang and manoeuvre. It is functional luxury at its most distilled.

80% Linen, 20% Cotton
Inspired by the 50s smoking jacket and the traditional shawl dinner jacket, this is a jacket that has completely debunked the idea of a classic shawl lapel piece. Like its predecessor, the Goodman Jacket, it captures the essence of modern-day’s pared-down tailoring, tempered with a subtle note of indulgence. The Betterman carries all the hallmarks of a formal jacket, yet it’s so casual. Cut unlined and longer with straight lines, this jacket melds the best of a traditional blazer and a chore coat. The design forgoes a chest pocket in favour of a full parabola shawl lapel and slanted pockets, achieving a sense of symmetry while following the natural contours of the body.
Crafted from a linen–cotton blend, the cloth is breezy and tactile, with a coarser, slightly rugged hand that contrasts elegantly with the jacket’s refined architecture, lending it a relaxed, modern character.
Pair this with: our polos, classic knitted t-shirts, or the feather t-shirts, linen trousers, shorts, or denim for a casual ensemble

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.
