Handwoven White Linen Men's Workwear Shirt | Live in Heritage

Size: Small

Classic Man's Shirt in Incredible Handwoven Linen

This shirt upgrades a classic with a hand loomed linen to produce sustainable, fair-trade, elevated sportswear.  Our handwoven linen embodies most of the elements of truly handmade artisan products.  The thread is handspun on a wooden wheel.  Craftspeople hand weave the threads into linen cloth on a treadle loom, (foot-pedal-driven). 

The shirt design is a classic men's workwear style with a single pocket, easy fit, double seams and a fresh shape to the shirt tail that looks great tucked or untucked. 

Features:

  • 100% handspun, handwoven linen
  • Mother-of-pearl buttons
  • Soft, natural collar
  • Single pocket
  • Responsibly hand made
  • Fair trade (we know the weavers)
  • Sustainably made (most of the shirt components come from within a few miles of the weaver's community)

  • Handwoven Textiles

    The historical center of beautiful textiles is India which has a textile tradition going back at least 4,000 years on two vectors. One vector is handweaving, which the market valued for sensory qualities of airiness, softness and coolness on the skin. The other is India’s unparalleled command of natural plant dyes, refined pattern designs and sophisticated, sequenced techniques of printing, dyeing and binding color to cloth. These amazingly sophisticated heritage crafts are a standard in sustainable fashion.


    Hand-spun, hand-woven textiles are made without electricity or chemicals. These heritage fabrics have an incredible, visibly different, handloom texture with story and soul. Made in small quantities, by a single tailor, these are elevated, sustainable, fair-trade clothes.



    Our carbon neutral handwovens embody the elements of truly handmade artisan products. The thread is handspun on a wooden wheel. Craftspeople hand weave the threads into cloth on a treadle loom, (foot-pedal-driven). Read More.


  • Handmade | Blockprint | Natural Dye Product Care


    Handmades are different than commercial products and require a different kind of care for long, luxurious product life. Hand embroidered and beaded products should be spot cleaned. Whenever you need deeper cleaning, use a professional dry cleaner known for gentle, non-toxic methods and materials.

    Handwovens and Natural Dyes

    Handwovens and natural dyes are created pretty much the way they have been made for over 1000 years. As pre-industrial products, they pre-date chemical mordants to affix color. On the making end, handmades and natural dyes are almost perfectly circular and don't pollute or create toxic waste. They are joyful to use because they have living finishes with beauty and soul.

    Natural dyes require traditional care in order to maintain their beauty and longevity. Care Gently spot, hand, or gentle machine wash in cold water. No twisting or wringing. Dry flat for best shape retention. Light iron. Do not bleach. Use an eco-friendly/natural, free from chemicals & as pH neutral as possible. Avoid added fragrances and conditioners. Or, dry clean.

    Caution Keep natural dyes away from anything acidic or alkaline, which can instantly bleach natural dyes. The stay-away list includes citrus, wine, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, calcium, baking soda, etc.
