The foundation of The 'Theorist' is rooted in the effortless, borrowed-from-the-boys appeal of a classic oversized shirt. But the details we incorporated are anything but common.
Side-seam slits and minimalist belt loops accommodate two slender tie straps to transform the silhouette at will. These contrast straps act as the architectural anchors of the shirt, giving you total control over its shape and expression.Â

Crafted from crisp Japanese typewriter cotton, woven in small yarn-dyed checks of teal and navy. An olive corduroy collar and signature triangular neck yoke create a tailored contrast against the rest of the piece.
Thread the ties through the slits and belt loops to sculpt the oversized volume into a tapered waist, knot them neatly at the back for a streamlined profile, or tie them at the sides to let the ribbons trail with movement. Worn untied, the shirt hangs in an effortless, generous drape.
Relaxed, oversized fit.Â
Currently available in One Size. This relaxed piece is designed to accommodate sizes UK6 to 14, depending on your desired fit.
Please bear with us as we work to expand the size range for this brand-new silhouette, feel free to get in touch if you would like to pre-order in different sizes!
