Body Type

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

If you've ever wanted a richer colour for warm days but worried it'd feel heavy, the Soft Terracotta Short Atticus in linen steps in. It’s for those days you need to look put-together but feel completely unburdened by the heat, letting you breathe easy.

- It doesn't cling at the small of your back, even when the temperature climbs in the afternoon.
- The linen feels light enough that you forget it’s on, even if you fall asleep on a train.
- This shade of Soft Terracotta brings a confident, earthy depth that still feels entirely suited for sunlight.
- You'll find it moves effortlessly with you, whether you’re reaching for a coffee or settling into a meeting.

What this won't do:
It won't stay perfectly crisp if you keep it balled up in a backpack all day. Linen develops a natural, lived-in character with wear, so embrace the subtle creases.

It’s just an easy way to carry a bit of grounded sophistication through the warmer months.
