How to find your body type: Wrap a thread around your waist and mark where the ends meet. Repeat around your navel (natural waist, not where your pants sit). Lay the thread against a scale and measure the difference between the two markings to determine your body type.


Chest Girth (in Inches)

We make our clothes to give a sharp tailored fit. Close to body at shoulder, sleeves and chest and slightly relaxed at waist. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, please select a size larger than your usual.

Description

You know that feeling when you're trying to pull off 'smart casual' on a humid day, but every shirt feels too heavy or just doesn't sit right? The Short Atticus in Dark Forest linen really sorts that out. It's built for those days when you need to look sharp and composed, but also want the kind of comfort that lets you forget you're wearing a shirt at all, especially when the weather isn’t exactly cool.

- The linen fabric breathes effortlessly, so you stay comfortable and never feel sticky, even as the day warms up.
- That unique Dark Forest colour carries a subtle depth, making it versatile enough to slide from a casual daytime meet to a relaxed evening without a second thought.
- It moves with you, designed so there’s never any pulling or bunching at the shoulders, no matter how much you’re reaching or making gestures.
- So light you barely notice it’s on, which helps those longer days feel a bit less cumbersome.

What this won't do:
It's linen, so expect some natural creasing if you ball it up in a backpack or sit hunched over at a desk for extended periods. It's simply not a crisp, wrinkle-free poplin, but it drapes nicely.

It’s a truly versatile piece that helps you feel effortlessly put-together, even when you’re just trying to keep cool.
