Arista Linen Cuban-Collar Shirt

The Lewis James Organic Linen Cuban Collar Shirt is a modern expression of pure, uncomplicated luxury. Crafted from 100% certified organic European linen, it channels the relaxed spirit of warm coastal afternoons and the quiet refinement of Mediterranean tailoring.

Naturally breathable, cool to the touch, and effortlessly lightweight, this shirt brings together nature’s purity with a silhouette rooted in timeless style. The Cuban collar adds a note of relaxed sophistication, while the structured internal facings give the shirt clean architecture and shape.

It is linen in its truest, most elevated form crisp, cool, and refined without ever feeling rigid.

This shirt stands apart through its fabric, construction, and philosophy:

• The Beauty of Certified Organic Linen

Organic linen is one of the world’s most responsible luxury fibres. Our linen is grown without synthetic pesticides, using a fraction of the water required for other crops, and processed using low-impact methods. This results in:
- A natural, cool-to-the-skin feel ideal for warm climates
- Superior breathability and moisture-wicking
- A clean, untouched fibre that softens beautifully over time
- A fabric free from harmful chemicals, kinder on the skin and the environment
- Stronger, longer fibres that give the shirt durable, long lasting structure

• A Silhouette Designed for Warm-Weather Living

Internal collar facings provide crisp definition to the Cuban collar, maintaining shape while allowing the body of the shirt to stay light and airy. It’s tailored yet unrestrictive refined yet effortless.

• Riviera Inspired Refinement

With its naturally cool hand feel and relaxed drape, the shirt captures the elegance of coastal dressing: understated, confident, and timeless.

• Intentionally Minimal

With no loud branding and a straight hem, the shirt is simplicity at its most sophisticated, a piece that becomes more beautiful the more you wear it.
This is linen elevated through purity, craftsmanship, and purpose.

Thanks to its clean lines, natural texture, and airy feel, this shirt pairs effortlessly with every core Lewis James piece.
