Basics Slim Fit Graphite Black Cotton Twill Stripe Shirt

This slim fit shirt in graphite black is built from 100% cotton twill—a tightly woven fabric that holds its shape through the day and resists wrinkles better than plain weave cotton. The stripe pattern runs lengthwise, which works well with the fitted cut to create visual length without looking fussy.

Cotton twill at this weight (around 140 GSM) strikes the balance between breathable enough for Indian summers and structured enough to layer under a blazer during cooler months. The horizontal stripes pair naturally with solid trousers; pair it with our other black-toned shirts if you're building a neutral rotation, or contrast it with lighter bottoms for office wear.

Graphite black reads darker than pure black but photographs more naturally. The slim fit works best if you're closer to average build; size up if you prefer room in the chest. Wash in cool water and hang-dry to maintain the twill's structure—tumble drying will soften it over time.
