Cut and Specifications.

A simple, comfortable shirt with V-neck and one-piece collar. Traditionally, fishermen’s shirts have no front buttons or similar appendages (these might get caught at work!), and we’ve kept to this tradition. There’s a single button (with loop) on the inside to close the neck if required, also one inside breast pocket.

No stripes, (almost) no buttons – a real fisherman’s shirt.

Proper fishermen’s shirts – that is, without arty-crafty ‘details’ – are hard to come by nowadays. Hence this model that we’ve had made for us in the classic ‘Vareuse’ (shirt-blouse) style. These shirts used to be made of sail-cloth leftovers, a bit too heavy for today’s wearer, so we’ve used Belgian linen from Libeco for our fisherman’s shirt – in extra-heavy quality, however, (210 g/sq.m.) in deference to tradition.

Care:

The Fisherman’s shirt is pre-washed and will hardly shrink.
