Mens casualwear sourcing: six commercial routes
The Mens Woven Casualwear document builds one category out of six commercial routes: woven casual overshirts and shirting, soft structure sweats and co-ords, graphic jersey, bottoms from relaxed shorts to everyday trousers, and a collar programme of polos, rugbies and elevated knitwear. The fabric sets the behaviour in each.
overshirts and shirting
Light structure, layering value and an easy casual stance. A checked overshirt in brushed check for soft hand and depth. A solid twill overshirt, a subtle twill weave for structure and durability. A casual poplin shirt, crisp for clean looks and versatility. A relaxed shirt-jacket for easy layering. Twill, check and poplin, in layer-friendly silhouettes built for cross-season merchandising.
jersey and soft structure
Sweats and co-ords built for everyday use, and graphic tees that carry the range: soft hand, easy silhouettes and commercial surface interest. Washed jersey, embroidery and print, from single jersey to heavier cotton-rich bases, with tonal embroidery and low-noise graphics for a more refined expression of brand.
the collar programme
A short sleeve polo, clean, timeless and an everyday staple. A long sleeve polo for sleek layering and refined comfort. A rugby top with heritage stripes in modern proportions. A zip neck knit, smart detail and a versatile layer. Pique, interlock and compact knits in retail-ready collar shapes, which is where casualwear gets sharper without losing comfort.
the material sets the behaviour
Jersey: soft, breathable and drapes cleanly, from washed and single jersey to heavier cotton-rich bases. Pique and interlock: structured yet breathable with a clean hand, for retail-ready collar shapes. Loopback and fleece: comfortable, absorbent and warm, in loopback, brushed-back and compact fleece constructions. Twill and poplin: stable, smooth and built for everyday, with subtle twill weave for structure and crisp poplin for clean looks.
Colour and graphics run to washed neutrals, tonal graphics and quiet utility.
