Puente
Some shirts are made to be noticed. This one is made to be remembered.
Japanese linen embroidered with palm motifs in tonal thread. The pattern is there if you look. If you don't, it still reads as one of the cleanest shirts in the room.
Light enough to forget you're wearing it. Structured enough to mean something. The kind of piece that travels well and improves with wear.
Made for the man who dresses for himself.
Care & Keeping
These pieces are built to last. How long they last is up to you.
Turn them inside out before washing. Cold water only. Never wring. Lay flat to dry away from direct sun. The fabric holds its shape better that way.
For knits, hand wash or use the gentlest machine cycle you have. No dryer. Ever. Steam to reshape if needed.
For woven shirts and linen, a cool iron on the reverse side. The collar deserves attention. That's where the piece lives or dies.
Store folded, not hung. Hanging stretches knits over time. A well-folded shirt in a drawer outlasts a hanger every time.
These aren't rules. They're just what the clothes respond well to.
Size & Fit
Cut true to size. If you're between sizes, go up. These pieces are meant to sit easy, not fight you.
