Villa Pinstripe Embroidered Shirt

The Villa Pinstripe Embroidered Shirt is a tribute to understated sophistication a shirt inspired by the quiet elegance of Mediterranean villas, where heritage craftsmanship meets relaxed modern living.

Cut from premium, lustrous cotton with a washed brown base and finely woven vertical pinstripe, it carries the depth and character of a classic while feeling just modern enough for today. Its relaxed, softly tailored fit creates an effortless drape that moves between smart and casual settings with ease. Finished with tonal LJ embroidery, it reflects the essence of Lewis James:
elevated essentials, crafted with intention.

Several elements contribute to its refined character:

• A Story Woven Through Premium Cotton

The fabric begins with long staple premium cotton, gently washed to achieve a soft, broken in hand that still maintains structure. The vertical pinstripe adds subtle height and elegance, while the earthy brown tone gives the shirt a warm, timeless quality.

The mix of lustre, breathability, and natural texture creates a shirt that feels both heritage in spired and distinctly contemporary.

• Tailoring Rooted in Ease

The relaxed silhouette features soft structure through the shoulders, creating a refined drape without rigidity. It shapes the body without clinging, offering a fit that feels elevated yet effortless.

• A Contemporary Interpretation of Tradition

The pinstripe typically associated with formal tailoring is reimagined here in a light weight, relaxed cotton shirt. The result is a modern take on a classic motif, suitable for everyday refinement rather than just formal wear.

• Signature Lewis James Detailing

Tonal LJ embroidery adds a handcrafted touch that’s subtle but meaningful, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to clean, intentional design.
