Pondicherry Flannel Shirt - Dharamshala Blue

Studio Notes

Crafted using premium cotton-flannel, our shirts are handmade in Tuscany. Cotton flannel is a wholesome and cosy shirt option possessing a durable and luxurious cashmere-like texture. A perfect casual option to thrown on for slightly chillier days (or working from home by that draughty window!).

Our cotton-flannel is sourced from a prestigious fabric supplier situated near Lake Como and dating back to 1925. The family business is run meticulously from end-to-end, working with selected farmers, sustainably sourced natural raw materials and biodegradable resources. They are regarded as the masters of quality flannel.

In order to create a shirt perfectly balanced for the modern wardrobe, we opted for a 270gsm/twill flannel for durability and comfort. The weight of the fabric not only makes for a warmer shirting option, but also allows the shirt to drape and hold its shape effectively, with fewer creases and less ironing required. 

The Pondicherry shirt pattern has been developed to blend a slightly tailored yet relaxed fit. The back is darted to enhance shape and a longer, curved hem allows a more comfortable fit when tucked in or worn un-tucked. Each shirt has been hand cut and produced following an eighteen step manufacturing process in Tuscany.

The brand mantra,  “mutual assistance of all beings”, is embroidered on the hemline in tonal thread. Our toucan collar is our own unique twist on the Nehru (grandad) collar for a more elegant silhouette.

We use Indonesian mother of pearl buttons on the front placket and cuffs.

A perfect option for a staple and versatile shirt, whether working from home or away. Pair with our Sanskrit Signature Sweatshirt or our Zero-Waste Harlesden Crewneck.
