The first shirt we designed, envisioned as a Southeast Asian wardrobe staple.

Still today one of our most popular pieces - loved for its breathability, comfort, and easy style.

 

Get to know the sw1 linen raglan henley.

The perfect shirt for Southeast Asia.

  

 

Style and design.

Southeast Asian, effortless, composed.

The sw1 henley takes inspiration from Asian heritage -  the mandarin collar, three-quarter sleeves, a kurta-like silhouette.

We opted for a relaxed cut that allows easy movement and gives an effortless, composed look.

A raglan construction modernises the piece, draping the shoulders and making them look broader.

 

Material technology.

Breathable, soft linen.

The henley is made out of a linen-cotton blend.

Linen is a natural fabric excellent for this weather - breathable and moisture-wicking.

We've continued improve on the fabric over each iteration, incorporating new technology to give a softer hand-feel and more wrinkle-resistance than regular linen-cotton blends. 

 

 

Performance.

Heatproof.

Designed to be heatproof, the sw1 henley is built to excel in Southeast Asia's heat and humidity.

It features a lightweight breathable fabric that releases heat and wicks moisture away from the skin.

Its relaxed cut promotes airflow, keeping you cool even on a hot day.

 

 

Versatility.

Wear it anywhere. With anything.

Lastly, we designed the henley to look good with many things: shorts, chinos, jeans, Birkenstocks, sneakers, leather shoes. 

People have worn it everywhere: to dinner, work, weddings, the mamak, the mosque, or for travel.

And if you'd like to try something Southeast Asian and fashion forward, you could even wear it with a sarong. 

 

 

People.

KJ buys all seven colours.

We had an order come in one day from KJ.

One henley.

Over the next few months, he ended buying all six other colours.

We've seen him wearing the henleys here and there. Once on Keluar Sekejap, another time as DJ Cage.

Maybe one day he'll buy something that isn't from the sw1 collection.
