Mens Buccanoy Shirt 1923

Shirts of this type date back to the 1920s. Their short stand-up collars offered the option of buttoning on an additional elegant collar. They enjoyed great popularity until the 1940s, when they were increasingly replaced by the turn-down collar shirts that are common today. For some years now, however, they have been enjoying a renaissance, albeit without the additional collar. Pike Brothers manufactures the shirt, which tends to be close to the figure, from a finely striped fabric with a strong feel and features a patch breast pocket. Almost three quarters of the fabric is made from skin-friendly cotton, with the remainder made from cooling linen.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.
