There is a version of this top in every shop. What separates the Oysters is the cloth: piqué, dyed grey, and finished without shortcuts.
Care
Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.
How to wear it
It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes grey rather than contrasts with it.
Fit
Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.
Fabric
The cloth is piqué. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
In short: a piqué top that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
