The Waisted Shirt – Pleated Hemp Cotton Shirt | Anushé Pirani

A slim-fit button-down shirt in hemp cotton, tailored with pleats at the front and back that draw the waist in without a belt. It is finished with a sharp collar, exaggerated cuffs, a regular placket and a gently curved hem. Hemp and cotton together give it structure and breathability, which is what makes a fitted shirt bearable in Indian heat.

FAQs

How slim is the fit?

Close through the waist — the pleats are there specifically to shape it. If you prefer a straighter line through the middle, size up or look at the Tomboy Shirt instead.

Is hemp cotton scratchy?

It has more body than pure cotton when new and softens noticeably after a few washes. The 45% cotton keeps it comfortable from the start.

What are the shirt lengths?

They run from 27" at XS to 29.5" at XXL, measured on the garment — short enough to wear tucked, long enough to leave out over trousers.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, separately and in cold water on a gentle cycle. Washing it with other clothes risks colour transfer in the first few washes.
