Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts - White
Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts - White
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.)

As part of The Anthology’s resort wear series, this is our take on a vacation shirt that features a classic camp collar design with a relaxed profile for comfort when lounging around beaches and resorts.
This holiday design is crafted from one of Japan’s fabric manufacturing specialities, to incorporate silk in weaving. The marginal blend gives the garment a heightened feel by presenting its luscious silkiness and fineness while maintaining the body. The colours are bright yet very well-balanced, which successfully shun the flashiness.
In terms of design language, the collar gracefully fans out following our pattern design and cutting, bringing out the loosened up summer flair summer as it should. This artefact introduces a relaxed, straighter shape to allow for a tank top or T-shirt layered beneath and has chest pockets on each side for your glasses and belongings. Shirt patterns are flawlessly matching to maintain subtle elegance. High split gussets are added on both ends of the garment for more action-friendly hand and pocket movements.

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.
