MODEL WEARS MEDIUM: Chest 40” // Waist 32” // Height 6ft 2”
The next edition of our Sunday Shirt Collection.
Rich and hardy, warm and reliable, a hard-working fabric that feels soft to touch.
We’ve introduced a cord Sunday Shirt to our range, bringing in an entirely new fabric that’s often seen in trousers but is fast becoming a staple. And it’s easy to see why - corduroy is rich and hardy, warm and reliable, a hard-working fabric that feels soft to touch.
We wanted to create a shirt that could be worn for any occasion, including your 'Sunday Best'. We guys need garments that can be styled up for a night out but also paired right back for a lazy Sunday morning around the house. The Sunday shirt ticks every box.
This shirt features a traditional shirt collar, pearl button fasteners, elbow patches and button-down chest pockets. Another feature is the additional 'side weld' using extra fabric for comfort.
It can be worn as a single layer or as an over-shirt pairing with base layers like our Henley Shirts. If wearing as an over-shirt we would recommend to go a size bigger. The fit is shaped and features a ‘rounded off’ outline on the front and back, so it looks great either tucked in or worn out like a work shirt.
Sunday shirts, not just for Sundays either! An epic shirt that I’m wearing as an overshirt now the autumnal weather is setting in…

Origins
Corduroy dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was woven close to the capital city of Al-Fustat and known as Fustian. Fustian didn’t carry the same raised textures as the corduroy we know today but was still seen as a hardwearing fabric for manual work. The corduroy we know today originated in Manchester in the 19th century and was used as factory wear. Even today, in parts of Europe, Corduroy is known as ‘Manchester’.
As with most hard-wearing fabrics, it was later adopted by the military and seen in many of the service uniforms before being revived in the 1960s largely due to its popularity with The Beatles and other bands.
Famously worn by artists and musicians during the 70s it become a symbol of anti-establishment and was loved by Bob Dylan, Woody Allen and Pablo Picasso.
