Ballad Blue Cotton Dobby Stripe Halfsleeves Shirt

This slim fit shirt cuts a clean line in Ballad Blue, woven from 100% cotton in a subtle dobby stripe that catches light without demanding attention. The weave runs at 140 GSM—dense enough to hold its shape through the day without feeling stiff, which matters when you're moving between office air-conditioning and Mumbai humidity. The half-sleeves keep things breathable during the warmer months, making this a reliable choice for late spring through early autumn.

Pair it with neutral chinos or other cotton pieces for a grounded office look, or dress it down over a t-shirt for casual Fridays. The stripe pattern works equally well with solid bottoms or subtle textures. If you typically wear a medium in our slim fit range, stick with that—this cut sits close without restricting movement at the shoulders.

Machine wash cold and hang to dry. The dobby weave resists wrinkles better than plain cotton, though it'll need a light press for formal settings.
