Following the tradition of the bespoke clothier, they began making finely tailored clothing for men and women, whose fabrics and fit are both youthful and elegant. Their identity is based first on quality in materials and construction, and finally on the particular combination of a slim silhouette, and the best-quality fabrics. The shirt fabrics used are woven in Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain. These are Egyptian cottons, occasionally combined with silk, cashmere, and linen. Production is exclusively with family-owned and operated workshops in Italy, Portugal and England.

First landing on the mens side is a staple for every wardrobe, a white MLX JFK, based on the simple and elegant shirts John F. Kennedy favored:

Fit and Care:

Depending on your specific fit, we suggest you either “dry-clean only” or wash in cold water and hang to dry. The caveat for washing is that our shirts will shrink up to about a 1/2 inch in the collar and sleeves. If you dry-clean it, the shirt will stay the same. Our shirts are cut with the assumption that you will wash and hang dry, therefore we’ve compensated for the shrinkage factor by adding an extra allowance.

For the ladies there is the WLX Madison, a lavender fitted shirt that is as good on sunny day as it is for fine dining…
