The shirt, part by part.

Boyswear is judged at the collar, the placket, the pocket and the hem. Each part a buyer checks on a boys shirt, shown on a style from current production.
  1. A Cuban collar worn open: the collar lies flat and the fronts turn back beneath it.

    01Cuban collar861837

    A Cuban collar worn open: the collar lies flat and the fronts turn back beneath it.

    A camp collar on a textured striped shirt, open at the neck, the stripe running through collar and fronts.

    02Camp collar751671

    A camp collar on a textured striped shirt, open at the neck, the stripe running through collar and fronts.

    01 / 06Collars

    Open, flat, or on a band

    Open Cuban and camp collars that lie flat, and classic collars on a band for the full-sleeve checks.
  2. Cotton Checkered Shirt
    1. 01Patch pockets
    2. 02Cross-stitched buttons
    Twin-pocket check shirt · style 915578

    02 / 06Checks

    The check, turned on the bias

    A check has to meet at the seams. Cutting a pocket or placket on the bias turns it diagonal on purpose, a choice planned in the marker before the cloth is cut.
  3. Palm leaves drawn in fine gold lines on a black ground.

    01Line print699867

    Leaves painted in loose watercolour strokes, teal, green and orange on an off-white ground.

    02Watercolour print766187

    A dense patchwork print of tiki masks, fish, pineapples and surfboards.

    03Patchwork print861837

    03 / 06Prints

    All-over prints, from line work to patchwork

    An all-over print still needs placing: across a placket, a pocket and the collar the repeat should run on without a visible break.
  4. Boys Checkered Shirt
    1. 01Collar on a band
    2. 02Shirt-tail hem
    Full-sleeve cotton check shirt · style 653586

    04 / 06Construction

    Placket, pocket, hem, button

    Buttoned plackets, patch pockets with angled corners, curved shirt-tail hems and buttons sewn on with a cross-stitch.

  5. Solid shirtOn reference

    On a solid,
    every seam shows.

    1. 01CollarShown in Collars
    2. 02Placket and buttonsShown in Checks
    3. 03PocketShown in Checks
    4. 04HemShown in Construction

    No solid style is in the online selection. Each part is shown on a production style in the steps around this one.

    05 / 06Solids

    Solids, developed from your reference

    Solids are part of the range beside checks and prints. None is in the online selection, so a solid shirt is developed from your reference, on any of the collars above.
  6. Boys Cotton Striped Shorts
    1. 01Drawcord
    2. 02Slanted side pocket
    Pull-on striped cotton shorts · style 759899

    06 / 06Woven shorts

    Shorts to pair with the shirt

    The bottomwear beside the shirting, cut in woven cloth, which holds a cleaner line than a knit short.

03Development

How boys styles are developed.

  1. 01

    Choose the collar

    Cuban, camp or classic collar on a band: the collar sets the shirt's character, so it is fixed first.
  2. 02

    Choose the cloth

    Print, check or solid, in the fabrics listed below; checks can be placed straight or on the bias at pocket and placket.
  3. 03

    Sample the fit

    Proto and fit samples are made against your measurements, then salesman samples for range presentation.
  4. 04

    Approve the counter sample

    Bulk cutting waits for the approved counter sample; quantities and delivery are confirmed against the programme.
