Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts - Sand
Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts - Sand
65% Cotton, 35% Linen
Long, but right before your knees, keeping your proportions right, also exemplifying pleated perfection.
If a pair of shorts go too long, covering one's knees, it makes one looks short. If the shorts are done too short and timid, it 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 to be generous around the thigh part, allows 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 structural 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 practicalism.
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.)

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 Toy Poodle during your stay in resorts with a pair of espadrilles and favourite pair of sunnies.
Also available in navy/white ‘ripple’ stripe,pickle green and tobacco,
Care tips: Due to the nature of the cloth, a total of 2cm length shrinkage may apply from the first few machine washes.

100% Supima Cotton
Our interpretation of a short-sleeved polo is a crossbreed between sublime functionality and superior comfort. We attempt to bring every detail of the ‘common classic’ that no one is unfamiliar with to its new heights. We can dissect this into two parts — design and fabric.
On the design note, the polo is purposely made sans top-button as we always prefer a short-sleeved polo to be worn open-collar for its uninhibited expression. With this polo, one can get the additional option to convey different levels of expressiveness. The one-button option is a thoughtful design. Precisely positioned around the upper chest, the button offers two wearable options to the garment as an exploration of an Anthologist’s persona. It allows for consideration to go the classic ‘down-to-earth’ understated luxury look by having it buttoned-up or to go complete riviera extravaganza route with flair and confidence.
Starting from the angle of the collar to the way it fans out, every manoeuvrable outcome has been carefully designed and calculated during pattern making. The collar spreads outwards and drops gracefully, draws a soft curve from the placket to the edge. The design also features a nailhead ribbed sleeve and hem. Unlike our knitted t-shirts, the ribbing only gives slight contours to the framework but refrains from hugging around tightly for the holiday aesthetic.
The cloth is house developed and equipped with a luxurious drape and handle that juxtaposes an unexpected lightness. A technical challenge in its own right, this knitwear is woven in a super 120 Supima cotton double-ply yarn, successfully marrying drape with lightness, bringing the best of both worlds together.
Wear it to a yacht, a game or a meal. This is luxury functional wear in its simplest form.

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.
