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

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.)

Designed for the well-adapting individuals who excel at both work and leisure, this is a casual piece that embodies more hardwearing properties, a practical semi-outerwear that can easily be worn solo or styled over a knit or tee on chillier days. 

Crafted with heavier fabrics, this is a direct reference to a general work shirt — less sinuous than our usual garment, the overshirt is cut in a slightly more semi-fitted silhouette to allow both tucking in and out, topped with slightly oversized utility chest pockets, with absolutely no fuss and feathers, but only having functionality in mind. 

Notwithstanding the more hardwearing property, we have also injected The Anthology’s sensibility of contemporary sophistication via the expression of the due diligence on cloth. Made from a specially developed corded glen check fabric woven in Italy, this piece features a supple velvety corduroy that offers a subtle cushioning effect, juxtaposed against its rigid outlook. With the visual illusion of the scarcely definable glen check and general silhouette, the piece comes off hard on the outside as a whole. But gradually, the soft and refined sensation intensifies once tactile comes into play, giving an unparalleled visual appeal and hand-feeling. 

Bleeding pen lines, ambiguous yet precise, a whimsical touch only corduroy can provide. Deep blue in contrast to the beige backside resembles ink and canvas, alluding to The Anthology’s quill and tailoring core at heart.

Pair this with: 

Knitted T-shirt in Caramel, Ecru or Rust, Pleated trousers in Peanut Khaki and Civilman trousers in Denim White or Taupe.
