New title, same closet?
Start the new role in turquoise silk.
A promotion changes the room you walk into. A shirt will not do the job for you, but it marks the moment.
This is the Emancipation 1925, a relaxed button-up in 100% mulberry silk with Dragon of Grace printed by hand on turquoise. Under a jacket it reads as a clean line of color; on its own it holds a meeting.
Sizes S, M and L for US 4 to 14; choose Made to measure in the size list for an extra 10% of the listed price.

We pay the import duty, not you.
Your order ships free from Hanoi within 1 to 3 business days and reaches a US address 9 to 15 business days later. Made to measure needs 3 to 5 more business days before it leaves.
The motif for what somebody did
Our rough rule: dragons are for what somebody did. Dragon of Grace is the one to give, or wear, for a promotion, a new title or a milestone at work.
It is the Ly Dynasty dragon from Hanoi's imperial citadel, drawn small and repeated in symmetry around a center, among bodhi leaves and a lotus pedestal. The bodhi leaf stands for wisdom and the lotus for purity.
The Vietnamese name is May Hoa Long An. An is grace granted rather than power held, a useful idea for anyone newly in charge.
In the new role
Board or client meeting Buttoned, under a navy or charcoal jacket, with tailored trousers.
Team dinner Jacket off, sleeves rolled once.
Fridays Untucked over dark jeans.
Presenting Turquoise carries on a stage or a screen. Keep everything else plain.

Made to measure, +10%
Every shirt is cut to order in our Hanoi atelier. Select Made to measure, then reply to your order confirmation with your bust, waist and preferred 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. Same silk, same hand-printed panel, for an extra 10% of the listed price.
Is it real silk?
Yes, 100% mulberry silk, hand-printed in Hanoi.
ELLE Vietnam and Harper's Bazaar Vietnam have both covered our studio.
Why $215
It is printed by hand in our Hanoi studio, one color and one pass at a time, then matched across the panels. The shirt is cut to order in our own atelier rather than made ahead in bulk.
$215 includes shipping and US import duty. Made to measure is the listed price plus 10%, and it takes the guesswork out of sleeve and body length.
Is it right for a conservative office?
Under a dark jacket, turquoise shows as a narrow line of color at the front. The repeat pattern looks like texture from across a room.
How soon can I wear it?
S, M or L: 1 to 3 business days in Hanoi, then 9 to 15 business days to a US address. Allow up to 18 business days, about three and a half weeks.
Made to measure: add 3 to 5 business days of tailoring before dispatch.
What if it does not fit?
S, M or L: return within 30 days, unworn and unwashed, in the original box. Change-of-mind return postage is yours, and store credit adds 15%.
Made to measure: outside the 30-day return, and one complimentary alteration is included instead.
For someone else's promotion
For your partner If you know her US size, the chart above is all you need.
For a mentor or a friend A scarf is the lower-risk gift. The turquoise Dragon of Grace scarf carries the same motif.
For yourself Name the promotion. That is the reason.
Every order arrives gift boxed. Put the recipient's address in shipping, add your message in Order Notes, and we write it by hand. No price goes in the parcel.
Keeping a work shirt sharp
Dry cleaning is recommended. Ask for a light press on the front placket.
If you wash it yourself, hand wash it in cold water, never in a machine, and dry it in the shade.
