In a nutshell,

The Albini linen shirt is an exceptional piece. Its 100% linen fabric, renowned for its breathability, has superior crease resistance, so you’ll be impeccable even at the end of the day. The highlight of this creation is its ‘one-piece’ collar, which ensures a natural fit and a unique curve, supported by luxurious finishes like mother-of-pearl buttons and bevelled cuffs.

 

The shirt as a whole

The one-piece collar

Also known as the “Cooper” or “Hollywood” collar, the one-piece collar is one of the most complex and admired collar constructions in shirtmaking. Unlike a classic shirt, the collar and throat are cut from a single piece of fabric, with no horizontal seam at the base of the collar.

Composition

The linen used comes from the prestigious Italian company Albini. This fabric is a technical marvel: ultra-breathable and absorbent, it naturally regulates body temperature. Unlike standard linen, which wrinkles at the slightest movement, this special weave is crease-resistant, so you can maintain an elegant structure throughout the day without losing the authentic charm of the linen grain.

The colour

White linen has a unique textured depth. It’s the ultimate summer colour, reflecting the light and complementing the textures of a solaro suit or cotton trousers.

Options

Collar and Throat

The shirt has a wider throat that is not topstitched. This technical choice adds weight to the placket to stabilise the collar. Despite the lightness of the linen, the collar stays rigid, ensuring that the points remain perfectly in place, offering an architectural structure to the face, even without a tie.

Mother-of-pearl buttons

Their discreet shine and changing reflections complement the mattness of linen. Mother-of-pearl buttons guarantee far greater durability than synthetic buttons, and a precious aesthetic.

Angled cuffs

Angled cuffs add a modern touch that contrasts with the traditional look of linen. This clean cut emphasises the wrist and allows you to show off a watch with character, while recalling the care taken with each corner of the shirt.
