PLASTRON SHIRT IN CHESTNUT DYED DOBBLER STRIPED COTTON CAMBRIC

A plastron is a chest covering which sits over a lower layer. The same term is used to describe a fencer’s chest pad, an armored breastplate, and a tortoise’s belly. The Plastron shirt is cut with large pleats set under the armholes, forming a pseudoplastron across the chest.

The pleats add volume into the skirt of the garment, which is cut without side seams, so that the tails hang freely without weight or stiffness. A single chest pocket on the left and full tailored cuff plackets behind the wrist refer to more traditional shirt making. Buttons are real shell interpretations of a standard cats eye button, and the whole garment is sewn with cotton thread.

100% cotton.
Delicate separate wash cool, inside out. Hang dry.
Made in the USA.

Tender’s designer William Kroll puts a lot of care into their research, design, manufacture, and wear. Just as a gardener tends a vegetable patch, or a shepherd is the tender to a flock of sheep, Tender hopes its customers will live with its products, wearing them hard but respecting their provenance and the stories they have to tell. The British-made clothes and accessories are manufactured in small factories, ateliers, and homes around the country, exploring new approaches to traditional weaving, making, tanning, and dyeing.
