This lightweight shirt in the style of the early 1930s is cut close to the body in keeping with the style of the time. The pure linen fabric, woven in a plain weave, has a texture typical of the material and a beautiful melange effect. The shirt has a button-down collar and a rounded hem. The patch breast pocket with the unusually shaped opening in the top corner is a so-called smoker's pocket. In the 1930s, smoking was still commonplace and this pocket was exactly the right size to hold a cigarette soft pack so that a cigarette could be removed without having to pull out the pack. An additional detail is the diagonal decorative buttonhole in the button placket.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.
