Architecture of Shirts: The Classic 11.11/eleven eleven Silhouettes

What began as a tunica interior (an inner layer) evolved into the versatile shirt, an enduring symbol of purity, class, and utility. From 19th-century professional attire to 21st-century relaxed casual moods, shirts remain the foundation of personal style and a reliable wardrobe.

Tailored for the highest-quality fittings, the story of shirts at 11.11/eleven eleven begins with a deep understanding of natural yarns—their thickness, hand-feel, and behaviour once woven. The low-twist yarns lend superior softness and breathability, elevating everyday comfort.

Slow-made in small batches with artisans across India, these shirts are designed to last and to live with you. Lightweight, gentle on the skin, and quietly adaptable from work to leisure, they are engineered to breathe, bend, and feel like a second skin, not imposed on the body, but shaped by it.
