Basics Slim Fit Maroon Red Cotton Fil-A-Fil Checks Halfsleeves Shirt

This is a slim fit shirt in maroon red, cut from 100% cotton in a fil-à-fil checks weave. The fil-à-fil construction—where contrasting coloured yarns are interlocked—creates a subtle texture that reads as solid from a distance but gains depth up close, making it versatile across formal and casual settings.

At around 140 GSM, the fabric has enough body to hold its shape through the day without feeling heavy, which matters during the warmer months when you're moving between air-conditioned offices and outdoor humidity. The slim fit sits close without restricting movement, and the half-sleeve cut keeps things breathable.

Pair this with chinos or tailored trousers for work, or dress it down with denim on weekends. The maroon tone pairs well across the spectrum—if you're building around this colour, browse our other red-family shirts for variety in weave and weight.

The 100% cotton will shrink slightly on first wash, so size up if you're between sizes, and tumble dry on low to maintain the fit.
