8th Lining’s seasonal collections echo the latest trends. Shirts are made from the best cotton poplin from Thomas Mason, or INDUO® water-repellent fabrics. All materials from 8th Lining are decatized in order to avoid shrinkage at the dry cleaners. All ranges have these modifications, positioning 8th Lining as a major player in bespoke garments for men.
