I have spent years admiring my dad's shirts given to me as a teenager. They are floaty, meticulously constructed and decades old. 

Our Classic Shirt takes details from these and centuries of English shirt-making, putting the best of them into one garment that we have spent five years finely tuning. Loose cut from a heavy pure-cotton twill, it is handmade in Gloucestershire, England with flat-felled seams, double-row stitching and mother of pearl buttons for a long and elegant life. It gives you room for movement and its natural fabrication allows your skin to breathe whilst ensuring a characterful patina after years of wear. One day your children might even be wearing your Classic Shirt.

LUDO LIFE: If you snag it, tear it or anything else, put your Classic Shirt through our complimentary LUDO LIFE service where the same seamstress who made your Classic Shirt will refurbish it and send it back to you in the field.

Washing Instructions: If on receiving your Classic Shirt you find it to be too big, you can shrink it moderately by washing at 60 degrees and letting it dry naturally. If you want to go nuclear, you can wash it at 60 and tumble dry. If, however, you like it as it is, simply wash it at 40 degrees and let it dry naturally and repeat ad infinitum.

    In an era of mass produced fodder and cheap online shopping Ludo Pals really stands out. Elegant and intelligently designed wear with an eye on the practical as well as the sartorial. It’s the little details like the stitching on the buttons and the quality of material that makes these shirts so distinctive. I’d wear them everyday if I could.

    I bought the shirt to wear with jeans but then I was even able to dress it up smartly + my girlfriend even wears it in an oversized style. Really impressed with the quality too! Will definitely buy more from Ludopals

    I’m a girl (5’9) and bought the size small. It’s the perfect oversized fit to wear casually as an over shirt or light jacket. Looks great with jeans and dresses. I love the weight of the cotton and the shirt’s quality.
