Category: Shirts

A short-sleeve knit button-up, featuring a breathable drop-needle pattern and Milano-knit detailing. Originating in the early 20th century as a more comfortable alternative to traditional sportswear, this style evolved from tennis attire into a smart-casual staple by the mid-century, often referred to as the “Italian knit” for its postwar popularity as relaxed leisurewear. This version updates the classic with added texture and airflow through the drop-needle construction, while the hems, collar, and placket are finished in a Milano stitch to give the piece structure and a more defined shape.

  • Front Button Closure
  • Camp Shirt Collar
  • Short Sleeves
  • All-Over Drop-Needle Stitch Pattern
  • Content: 100% Cotton
  • Hand Wash, Lay Flat to Dry

    Aurora ★★★★★

    This is my third one in a different color. The Milano-knit fabric holds its shape all day but still feels lighter than a typical button-up, which makes it perfect for warm afternoons at the office.

    Eva Y. ★★★★★

    The airy drop-needle texture keeps me cool on warm days, and the Milano-knit collar holds its shape after a few washes. I’ve already worn it three times this week, it’s become my go-to for casual Fridays.

    Isabella ★★★★★

    The drop-needle pattern really does what it promises—my back stayed cool through a whole afternoon of running errands in the sun. The Milano-knit cuffs give it a dressier feel than your average short-sleeve, so I’ve worn it to both a cookout and a casual office day without missing a beat.
