Our hearts are on our sleeves, and our made-ins are on our labels.

Some things in life are inescapable truths. Death, taxes, and the gloriousness of Madras.

We enjoy the occasional recontextualisation at L·E·J, and as true as we wanted to be to Madras - to Chennai - we also wanted something a soupçon more translatable. Transferable.

So you should meet the Throwdown Shirt. It's a vacance, it's a weekend. It will faire le pont for you, it will satisfy any elevator-selfie quota.

For those of you who know the Officer's and CUTTS, meet their love child. The wickedly attractive offspring of two perfect specimens. Straight, relaxed, + gently formed to give an elegant number for dressing down in - forgettable to the wearer, unforgettable to all others.

We've launched this one in collaboration with another passion project - to make the right things in the right places. And so, we proudly present this Made In India Madras. With all the refinement you'd expect from a L·E·J chemise, albeit borne aloft on the warm spiced air of the sub-continent.

Yes, sirs, it's the Madras Throwdown Shirt.
