"Ermenegildo Zegna" 2010’s mother-of-pearl button london stripe shirt

Since its founding in 1910, Ermenegildo Zegna has quietly continued to update the ideals of men's clothing through the development of the finest materials and impeccable tailoring, and here we introduce a masterpiece that elevates even everyday gestures to a mark of elegance.

Based on delicate London stripes and high-density cotton that gains depth depending on the lighting, this exquisite piece imbues the outfit with intelligence.

The collar features a versatile wide design that accommodates the neatness of a tie while also creating space around the neck when worn without a tie, making it attractive for a range of styles from business to dress casual with just one piece.

Notably, the appearance of the fabric is characterized by a subtle sheen created by the high-density cotton, which, despite its modest stripes at first glance, stands out as a three-dimensional surface when moved, ensuring that even simple outfits leave a strong impression.

The buttons are made of thick white mother-of-pearl, and the natural luster, which is not uniform, adds a sense of luxury to even the finger movements, making the act of fastening and unfastening look beautiful. Additionally, the cuffs create rhythm by switching the direction of the stripes, subtly conveying quality when peeking out from the jacket's sleeve.

The appropriate range of years is from 2014 to around 2019, and the fact that the collar's woven name includes the full name in serif typeface with Ermenegildo aligns with the pre-2021 rebranding specifications. Furthermore, the notation of Zegna Japan and the structure of the management number match domestic circulation items from the mid-2010s, ensuring the authenticity of the era. The mention of Turkey as the manufacturing country also aligns with the standard production scheme using dedicated factories at that time.

For those who want to create trust through the beauty of materials and lines without being ostentatious, and wish to maintain elegance even in close-up situations like dinners or meetings, this is a piece that naturally draws the hand. It is especially recommended for those who want to keep a proper outline even during seasons when only a shirt is worn.

As a styling, pairing neat slacks with leather shoes and making the shirt's three-dimensionality the main feature naturally creates the intelligent mood characteristic of Zegna. Additionally, layering with a tailored jacket or a long coat allows the texture of stripes and white mother-of-pearl to work as subtle accents, creating an elegant and genderless appearance.

Definitely take this opportunity.
