Made in Italy
Over 140 years of textile experience allow Albini to create fabrics with extremely fine yarns, skillfully combining craftsmanship and highest technology. Chambray is a cotton canvas woven with an unbleached and colored yarn. It is therefore a standard woven fabric, whose difference comes from the color of the threads. By interweaving these two threads, they give the fabric a mottled and textured appearance. Both soft and comfortable, the chambray fabric is breathable and pleasant to wear during the warmer seasons
Sartorial details:
The pleated sleeve head, or spalla con grinze: a bigger sleeve is filled into a smaller and higher armhole, resulting in a somewhat "puffed" shoulder/sleeve finish. Offering more comfort during movement.
Buttons made from mother-of-pearl give an extra touch of prestige to the shirt; with an eye for detail, the buttons are stitched on Zampa di Gallina.
French seams-located on each side of the shirt’s body, inside the sleeves and at the armscye, are realised with only one thread visible on the more refined French seam because the other is inside the shirt. In this manner, the seams are almost invisible and offer greater resistance to your shirt.
Misalignment under the armscye: this assembly technique involves a slight imbalance in the sleeves symmetry and prevents gaping at the junction point of the underarm stitches. It significantly increases comfort.
The last buttonhole is sewn on horizontally in order to avoid tensing the buttonhole seams inside the trousers.
Hem gussets (Mosca) are small fabric triangles that bind the front and the back of the shirttails in order to reinforce the junction, as it helps to preserve the seams on the sides of the shirt when you pull on it when tucking it into your trousers.
Care Instructions : Wash inside out at up to 30°. Use normal spin cycle and air dry on a flat surface. Iron at low temperature. Do not bleach or tumble.
