A tailored fit, made just right

The Volpaia has a slightly fitted cut, refined and perfected over many years by our product team.

Our goal: to create a shirt that follows your sides harmoniously and flatters your silhouette, while still leaving enough room (especially at the shoulders and arms) for you to move freely.

You can tell us what you think after trying it on.

Elegance or casual? Both!

Its slightly fitted cut and Italian collar make it easy to wear this shirt in a more elegant way—tucked into trousers and paired with a blazer, for example.

But with its speckled fabric, you can just as easily wear it untucked in more casual outfits, with a T-shirt, a jacket, and chinos.

The undeniable charm of Japanese chambray

Japanese chambray holds a special place in our collection—we’ve been working with it for over a decade.

We chose this one for its deep blue shade, and above all its irregular white flecking scattered across the fabric, giving it unique character.

The secret? A slow weave on vintage machines, increasingly rare today, which allows small cotton neps (87%) to surface and reveal their natural beauty. These irregularities are enriched by those of linen (13%), visible through subtle horizontal striations that add even more texture and a reassuringly dry handfeel.

This fabric is the fruit of Japanese expertise from Nomura, who has been spinning, dyeing, and weaving exceptional textiles for over a century.

Thought through to the last detail

Benoît, our co-founder, is obsessed with shirts—and especially with their details. That’s why special attention was given to:

  • The collar: its proportions were studied so it holds its shape in any situation. Closed, its open points sit naturally beneath the lapels of a blazer. Open, it rests lightly on your collarbones without collapsing.
  • The buttons: our signature mother-of-pearl buttons are included. Extra thick, they come from the French supplier Corne et Corozo.
  • The French seams: especially visible along the shirt’s sides, this premium construction ensures a clean, elegant finish with no bulky fabric layers—only a single visible seam line on the outside.
