The casual shirt is never the important shirt. And yet it’s the shirt you actually live your life in.

The dinner that turns into something, the trip that matters, the morning after both – the casual shirt goes everywhere the dress shirt doesn’t, which is most places worth going.

And yet it’s rarely made like it. The space between a T-shirt and a dress shirt has been badly served by attention and craft. The shirt you live your life in currently comes in three options: branded, printed, or the white shirt that never quite stops looking like work.

We think the shirt you live your life in should be the best shirt you own.

Second Sons makes casual shirts that are important. Casual shirts that fit and fall properly, in fabrics with texture and character.

The name comes from an old idea.
In the old order, the first son inherits everything. The second son figures it out himself – not what is given, but what is built.

We put our own spin into years of tailoring craft to make casual shirts imporant.
