The shirt that carries a thousand years of craft in a fabric that feels like cool water.

La Soie Glacée

La Soie Glacée — the ice silk — is named for the fabric that defines it. A Hanfu-inspired ice silk shirt in two colourways — Yellow Green and Beige — with three-quarter sleeves, an oversized silhouette, and decorative frog button closures. Seven sizes, M to 5XL. One principle: the shirt that references a thousand years of Chinese textile craft and wears like cool water on the skin is the shirt that does not need to explain itself.

The Fabric

Ice silk — soie glacée — is the fabric that gives La Soie Glacée its defining quality. Ice silk is a high-performance synthetic fabric engineered to replicate the visual properties of natural silk — the sheen, the drape, the fluid movement — while adding the cooling properties that natural silk cannot provide. The surface of ice silk feels cool to the touch and remains cool against the skin in warm weather: the kind of fabric that makes the wearer feel the temperature drop the moment the shirt is put on. The sheen of ice silk catches the light in the way that natural silk does — dimensional, directional, and entirely unlike the flat surface of a standard cotton or polyester shirt. La Soie Glacée is the shirt that looks expensive because the fabric it is made from behaves expensively.

The Hanfu Reference

Hanfu — the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese people — is the aesthetic tradition that gives La Soie Glacée its silhouette and its closures. The Hanfu tradition spans more than three thousand years of Chinese dress history and is characterised by flowing silhouettes, natural fabrics, and the decorative closures that distinguish it from Western tailoring. La Soie Glacée takes the Hanfu vocabulary — the relaxed, flowing silhouette; the three-quarter sleeve; the frog button closure — and renders it in ice silk for the contemporary wardrobe. The result is a shirt that carries the aesthetic authority of a tradition without requiring the wearer to be part of it.

The Frog Buttons

Frog buttons — brandebourgs — are the decorative closures that give La Soie Glacée its most distinctive detail. The frog button is a looped closure made from cord or fabric that fastens by passing one loop through another — a construction that has been used in Chinese dress for centuries and has been adopted by fashion houses across the world as a mark of considered craft. On La Soie Glacée, the frog buttons are the detail that separates the shirt from every other ice silk shirt in the market — the closure that reads as intentional, considered, and entirely appropriate for the fabric it fastens.

Colour Story

Yellow Green — The vitality colourway. Yellow Green La Soie Glacée is the ice silk Hanfu shirt in the tone of new growth — the fresh, bright, spring-adjacent green that reads as confident and entirely deliberate. Yellow green on ice silk catches the light with a warmth that reads as luminous rather than loud. The man in Yellow Green La Soie Glacée is the man who understands that colour is not a risk — it is a decision.

Beige — The refinement colourway. Beige La Soie Glacée is the ice silk Hanfu shirt in the neutral tone that allows the fabric and the frog buttons to be the statement. Beige on ice silk reads as warm, considered, and entirely appropriate for every occasion that requires a shirt that is not a plain white shirt. The man in Beige La Soie Glacée is the man who understands that the most considered choice is sometimes the quietest one.

Size Guide

Tip: La Soie Glacée is cut oversized by design — the flowing Hanfu-inspired silhouette is intentional. True to size gives the full oversized look. Size down only if you prefer a more fitted reading of the same shirt, understanding that the oversized silhouette is the correct one for this aesthetic.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle — preserve the ice silk sheen and fluid drape
• Do not bleach — protect the Yellow Green vitality and Beige refinement
• Do not tumble dry — air dry flat or hanging to maintain the ice silk surface and oversized silhouette
• Iron on low heat inside out if needed — protect the ice silk sheen from direct heat
• Store hanging to preserve the three-quarter sleeve proportion and frog button closures

Styling Note

La Soie Glacée is the shirt that leads the look by doing less. Wear it open over a plain vest or tee for the most effortless approach — the oversized silhouette and frog button detail do the work. Wear it alone with dark or neutral trousers for the most considered single-layer approach. Yellow Green works with dark navy, black, or white trousers and clean white or black footwear; Beige works with everything. La Soie Glacée is built for the man who understands that the most interesting shirt in the room is the one that references a tradition — and wears it lightly.
