Basics Slim Fit Baleine Blue Checks Shirt

Baleine Blue Checks in a slim fit, built from 100% cotton with a tight weave that holds its shape through repeated wear and wash. The shirt uses mother-of-pearl buttons that won't yellow or crack under regular use, paired with reinforced stitching at stress points—collar, cuffs, and placket—to outlast cheaper alternatives.

This is an office staple for the Indian summer and monsoon. The checks break up formality without demanding a tie, so it works over formal trousers for meetings or paired with chinos for after-work drinks. The slim cut suits leaner frames without pulling across the chest; if you typically size up in standard fits, stick with your normal size here. Browse our broader checks design range or explore other blues if you prefer solid tones.

The 100% cotton will soften slightly after the first few washes. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying to keep the Baleine blue from fading unevenly.
