The Dalvey range of shirts has been crafted from exceptional fabrics – cut and tailored to create sculpted silhouettes and finished with classic detailing.

The range is characterised by subtlety.  Our fabrics are developed to be elegant and versatile – striking but understated.

We use superfine Giza and Pima long-staple cottons.  Their elongated fibres can be spun into yarns that are strong but fine, and are the basis of the luxurious ‘handle’, or feel, of the fabrics.  We use two-fold yarns in a wide variety of weaves.  A two-fold construction involves spinning together two yarn threads to create a stronger, richer basis for the fabric.  Weaves vary according to the requirements of the design, and can be anything from rich dobbies, such as twill and herringbone textures, to silky poplins.

Our shirts are constructed using a single-needle stitch technique.  Single-needle tailoring creates beautiful seams: this time-consuming process is usually omitted in the modern garment, but is the hallmark of a more elegant shirt.  They have reinforced gusset details, removable collar stiffeners and perfect alignment of stripes and checks along split yokes and gauntlets.
