Blue Blakeney Linen Gingham Shirt

The Blakeney Gingham Linen Shirt brings together one of menswear’s most enduring patterns with the easy elegance of pure linen. Gingham’s story stretches back centuries, believed to have travelled to Europe via trade routes from Southeast Asia before becoming a staple of British and European dress in the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally associated with practical everyday wear, the small-scale check soon found favour across social classes, from countryside attire to town shirting, prized for its clean, understated charm.

Cut from 100% linen, the Blakeney is designed for warm-weather comfort, offering breathability and a naturally relaxed drape that only improves with wear.

Please note: This shirt is intentionally cut in a traditional generous country fit. It offers a fuller body, long tails, and freedom of movement, and will feel roomier than a modern slim or tailored shirt.
