Jops Cotton Ripstop Shirt
A relaxed white shirt that honours the category Bellerose was built on.
Story & heritage
The brand's own history starts with men's shirts in 1989, making a current core shirt essential to the Bellerose icon set. Jops translates that origin into a relaxed, straight-cut ripstop button-up rather than a formal dress shirt.
Bellerose Belgium SA/NV is headquartered in Groot-Bijgaarden, near Brussels. The company was started by Jean-Pierre Delhaye, Charly Bouvy, and Patrick Van Heurck in 1989 with a line of men's shirts; the name refers to Bellerose, New York. Its first women's collection followed in 1998 and its children's line in 2002.
Materials & craft
Bellerose describes Jops as a lightweight white cotton ripstop shirt with a button-up front, chest patch pocket, dropped shoulders, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs and a curved bottom hem.
How to choose & style
Wear it oversized and slightly rumpled; the ripstop texture keeps white shirting from feeling precious. It is strongest with faded denim, utility trousers or a soft knit thrown over the shoulders.
