The White Shirt for the Boldly Conservative Man
FAIRFAX, a tie brand that Japan is proud of, takes a thorough approach to men's suit styles. To embody the styles it proposes, the brand produces its own shirts. This time, we will introduce two shirts from their collection: one in pinpoint oxford and another in dobby stripe, both featuring a wide spread collar.

Originality Born from a Mix of Global Influences
FAIRFAX proposes a tied-up style that filters the moods of NY, London, Milan, and Tokyo, based on American traditionalism. The manufacturing policy, "Be a boldly conservative man," is as strong as its ties, extending to its shirts.
The pinpoint oxford fabric, woven with fine, high-twist yarns, offers a look that can freely transition between dress and business casual, thanks to the casual impression of oxford cloth and the luster of premium cotton.
The dobby stripe shirt exudes a sensual sheen while maintaining a masculine, traditional atmosphere. Its texture is exceptionally smooth and supple, providing a flexible feel without sacrificing crispness.
These fabrics were commissioned from Albini, a venerable Italian manufacturer founded in 1876 and one of the country's three major fabric makers. This luxurious material is then finished with Japan's renowned high-quality sewing techniques. The shirts, designed with tailoring principles in mind, fit the body comfortably without restricting movement, creating a beautiful silhouette that is not easily affected by body type differences.
Furthermore, the three-dimensional form extends to the collar, greatly contributing to the creation of an elegant V-zone.
The two shirts introduced here each feature a British-style wide spread collar. Combined with rugged stitching rooted in American traditionalism, they impart a relaxed yet sharp, masculine impression when tied up.
Extra-fine fabrics, innovative techniques from traditional methods, Anglo-American design and mindset, and accents applied with an awareness of global trends – these elements create a hybrid masculine image that is both luxurious and responsive to contemporary needs.
FAIRFAX continuously updates its commitment to craftsmanship, seeking an eternal traditionalism by blending trends with the aesthetic principles rooted in an authentic lifestyle.
