I really love oversized button-down and universal silhouette. However, there are a few elements of traditional button-downs that I dislike, and that I knew wouldn’t work with our manufacturing process. The shirt n°4 eschews traditional stand collars, and sleeve cuffs with pleating. What remains is the suggestion of this classic garment and its spirit, but with all the comfort, ease, and simplicity that are the hallmarks of ALLOA CASALE clothing.
It works in almost any setting—worn to an evening affair or to the beach as a coverup. I wanted to capture the timelessness and the nostalgia; a crisp, button-down shirt is a constant throughout history and in most people's closets today, but this universal silhouette somehow still has the ability to intrigue. This dress style would look so cool unfastened halfway from the bottom, with trousers or jeans peeking through the center slit from underneath.
Wear closed or open, and fasten as many or as few of the buttons as you like. Form and function in true harmony for this style!
SHIRT N°4
Light-weight, sturdy broadcloth linen that can be pressed to a neat, crisp finish or left rumpled after washing for a perfectly lived-in look. Linen possesses natural strength and durability, and it's a super friendly fiber on the environment. It requires very little processing, is hypoallergenic, comfortable in all seasons, insulating, and absorbent. Oeko-Tex certified.
Linen is a natural fiber made from cellulose fiber inside the stalks of the flax plant.Natural imperfections in weave are also to be expected and embraced—slubs, nubs, and occasional bits of organic matter are common in linen. If you are looking for the homogeny and perfection of a synthetic fiber or a finely woven cotton you will not find it in linen.
