Question 1

How does sizing work — this is listed as unisex?

Accepted Answer

The Button Down is cut in Italian sizing, which runs lean. Men should size up one from their usual US size. Women should size down one from men's sizing — for example, a women's medium corresponds to a men's small. If you're between sizes, size up.

Question 2

What makes the construction different from a standard linen shirt?

Accepted Answer

Two things distinguish it: French seams (the raw edges are enclosed inside a second seam, so the interior is as clean as the exterior) and folded double-row stitching at the seams. Both add durability and a finished quality that holds up to repeated washing.

Question 3

How do I care for it?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash on the delicate cycle. Hang to dry — tumble drying will shrink the fabric and damage the Mother of Pearl buttons over time. The linen will soften with each wash. A warm iron or steamer removes creasing quickly.

Question 4

Can I wear it dressed up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The French seams and Mother of Pearl buttons carry it well under a sport jacket. The middle-cut collar sits cleanly under a collar stay or worn open. It also works untucked over denim — the structure is there either way.

Question 5

Where is it made?

Accepted Answer

Handmade in Italy by an artisan workshop in Rome. The organic linen is produced and woven in Italy. Stick & Ball is B-Corp Certified at the brand level.

Question 6

How does the Button Down compare to the Nehru Tunic or Dolman Shirt?

Accepted Answer

The Button Down is the most structured of the three — full button front, French seams, middle-cut collar. It layers under a jacket where the other two don't. The Nehru and Dolman are softer silhouettes suited to casual or smart-casual wear. All three share the same organic linen, colorways, and care instructions.
