The language of details: cuffs, seams and buttons

In the art of shirtmaking, every detail counts. Beyond the cut and the fabric, it's the subtle elements, almost imperceptible at first glance, that transform a shirt into an exceptional piece. The cuffs, the seams, and the buttons—these discreet yet essential elements—are all signatures of artisanal craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Let's delve into the language of these details, revealing a subtle sophistication, much like the creations of... Bourrienne Paris X.

1. Wristbands: elegance and functionality

Cuffs do more than just close a sleeve; they define the character of a shirt and play a crucial role in its balance.

• Simple wristbands: understated and versatile
  Also called straight cuffs, they are fastened with one or two buttons. Their simplicity makes them the perfect choice for everyday use, from the office to casual occasions.
  Bourrienne's Tip : The cuffs of Bourrienne shirts are often enhanced by subtle pleats, adding a discreet touch of elegance.

• Musketeer cuffs: the hallmark of refinement
  Designed to accommodate cufflinks, they add a touch of sophistication, ideal for formal events or elegant dinners.
  Classic example Paired with a white shirt and a dark jacket, French cuffs embody timeless elegance.

• The details that make it special
  A rounded or angular border, fine topstitching or a subtle contrast in the lining, all these details distinguish the cuffs of a shirt with character.

2. The seams: the mark of expertise

The seams are the invisible structure that gives a shirt its life. Their quality determines not only the durability, but also the beauty of the garment.

• English seams: pure refinement
  Used for their discreetness and durability, they are characterized by a meticulous interior finish, with no visible edges. This type of stitching is a mark of excellence, reserved for high-end shirts.
  Bourrienne's Tip : Each shirt from the house incorporates English seams, testifying to meticulous craftsmanship.

• Topstitching: elegance and functionality
  Present on the cuffs, collars or buttons, topstitching adds a visual finish while reinforcing the most stressed areas.

• Side seams: controlled discretion
  Invisible from the outside, they ensure an impeccable structure and optimal comfort. Their regularity is a key indicator of a shirt's quality.

3. Buttons: from simple fasteners to true jewels

Buttons, small but essential, provide a finishing touch that can enhance or compromise a shirt.

• Mother-of-pearl buttons: the choice of excellence
  Renowned for their natural luster and durability, mother-of-pearl buttons are a hallmark of quality shirts. Their subtle variation in hue adds a unique depth to each piece.
  Bourrienne's Tip : The house's shirts use genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, carefully polished to reflect light in a sophisticated way.

• Cross-stitched buttons: a detail of durability
  This type of stitching ensures a secure attachment while providing a refined aesthetic.

• Discreet or contrasting buttons
  While tone-on-tone buttons embody classic elegance, contrasting buttons add a touch of modernity and character. This choice can reflect a bold personality or a strong style.

4. Why do these details matter so much?

These elements, though subtle, define the quality and style of a shirt. They testify to the care taken in its design and tell a story of craftsmanship and elegance.

• A guarantee of durability
  Strong seams, well-structured cuffs and quality buttons prolong the life of the shirt, making it resistant to everyday wear and tear.

• A personal signature
  These details allow each shirt to reflect a unique personality. A mother-of-pearl button, subtle topstitching, or a French cuff can reveal a taste for refinement or simplicity.
