Provenance

Cut from a length of French shirting fabric dating to the 1920s, preserved for nearly a century inside a retired suiting warehouse. Warehouses of this kind supplied tailors with cloth selected for its handle, durability, and refinement. Removed from circulation as tastes and businesses changed, this fabric survived not as a finished garment but as an unused remnant of the French textile trade.

The Making

Shirting fabric of the period was woven to balance comfort with the crisp structure required by traditional tailoring. Fine yarns and a tightly controlled weave produced cloth that could withstand frequent wear while remaining light against the body. Decades in storage have allowed the fabric to retain its original character, offering a rare opportunity to work with period cloth in an exceptionally preserved state.

The Garment

Vintage-inspired fit with dropped shoulders and a slightly tapered waist. The lightness and structure of the original shirting give the garment an easy, unconstructed quality while retaining a tailored silhouette. Production is strictly limited by the amount of surviving fabric and cannot be repeated once the original length has been exhausted.

Fit and Measurements

Chest circumference: 42"
Shoulder: 17"
Front length: 27.25"

Care Instructions

Dry clean only. Due to the age and nature of the textile, avoid water, steam, and direct heat. Store flat or hanging in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight, which can fade antique dyes over time. Handle embroidered areas with care — the embroidered threads are original to the textile and irreplaceable.

This piece has been professionally cleaned/inspected prior to sale.
