A white linen shirt for the hottest weeks of the year.
Plain, on purpose.
If you are buying one shirt for heat, for travel or for a summer wedding, white linen is the one that goes everywhere. It works with navy, khaki, gray and denim, and it looks right tucked in or worn loose.
This is our 1870 classic cut: a tailored fit, clean stitching, and a plain-woven linen and rayon blend chosen for comfort and drape. No print.
Sizes S to L, or made to measure for an extra 10% of the listed price.

A plain shirt from a studio known for print
Most of what we make carries a motif from Ly and Tran Dynasty art. The linen line goes the other way. Its idea is restraint: one solid color, natural texture, and nothing that competes with the man wearing it.
White is the clearest version of that idea. It suits a man who wants to look put together in the heat without looking dressed up, and it gives a patterned tie a clean background.
How to wear it
Open, over a T-shirt A light outer layer for a warm evening, sleeves rolled once.
Buttoned, with tailored trousers The minimal version for dinner or the office in July.
With chinos or shorts For a weekend or a beach town, worn untucked.
Under a jacket, with a tie For a summer wedding. A silk tie in navy or a woven pattern sits well on white.

Made to measure, +10%
Larger than US 44, or want a specific sleeve and body length? Every shirt is cut to order in our Hanoi atelier. Reply to your order confirmation with your chest, waist, sleeve and body length. Our team confirms within one business day, and tailoring adds 3 to 5 business days before dispatch. Once your measurements are confirmed, we send a secure link for the 10% made-to-measure surcharge. Made-to-measure pieces are not covered by our 30-day return and include one complimentary alteration instead.
Is it pure linen?
No, and we would rather you knew before you order. The cloth is a plain-woven blend of linen and rayon. You get the look and texture of linen in a shirt cut for comfort and drape.
Why $148
Our linen clothing runs from $105 to $170, well below our silk. This shirt sits in that range because every one is cut to order in our own Hanoi atelier, to a tailored pattern, rather than made ahead in bulk.
It ships direct from Hanoi with the import duty covered by us. Made to measure adds 10% of the listed price.
Will it arrive in time?
Standard sizes: 1 to 3 business days before dispatch, then 9 to 15 business days of US delivery. For a trip or a wedding, order about three and a half weeks ahead.
Made to measure: tailoring takes another 3 to 5 business days before it ships.
What if it does not fit?
Standard sizes: send it back within 30 days, unworn and unwashed, in the original box. If you changed your mind, you cover the return postage. Choose store credit and we add 15%.
Made to measure: not covered by the 30-day return, and one complimentary alteration is included instead.
