Triplstitched Contour Print Shirt | London (UK)

Up-and-coming menswear label and IDMC° favourite Triplstitched, work out of their Enfield factory in North London where they design and manufacture contemporary casual shirts using vintage machinery. Founded by co-founder of design and sourcing firm Eden & Eden, Scott Eden and Managing Director of Hong Kong-based menswear supplier The Limeys, Ben Marden, the pair work with a wish to return shirt production to the UK.

Triplstitched have sourced, shipped and restored shirt-making machinery from around the world with a promise to manufacture the garments from their London base using tried and test construction methods. Eden and Marden boast classic pieces of machinery in their factory including a Reece S2 buttonhole machine and a Union Special wide flat felled chain stitched armhole machine, developed to create the distinct aesthetic produced by American shirt icons. And although the machinery may not be able compete with their speedier modern counterparts, the finished Triplstitched garments are produced with a distinctive appearance.

With an arsenal of contemporary classics, the Contour Print is inspired by the quintessentially British Ordnance Survey Map. The classic two finger button down Oxford shirt features an print developed in-house that was created after Triplstitched re-drew a section of an 18th century map formerly used by the military to chart areas and territory. 

The shirt was then produced by Heathrow based IVO, a family run printer who used a rotary printing press to transfer the print pattern into the 100% cotton fabric and finally sanforized for a softer finish.
