Standard Shirt
The button-down version of the James Perse proposition: simple, washed, and quietly exacting.

Story & heritage
The biography page says Standard James Perse became the brand's line for high-quality basics, while James Perse Los Angeles expanded into ready-to-wear. The Standard Shirt bridges those two identities neatly: it is a shirt, but it behaves like a basic — easy, seasonless and deliberately stripped back.
Its presence on the official Men's Classics page places it among the house's permanent wardrobe vocabulary rather than trend-led tailoring. For James Perse, that permanence matters more than overt signature hardware ever could.
Materials & craft
The official product page describes a 100% cotton shirt with lightweight breathable construction, garment dyeing, a shirt collar, button-front closure, full-length sleeves with placket cuffs, a locker loop and centre-back seam. The finishing is all about making a classic shirt feel softened and lived in from day one.
How to choose & style
Wear it the James Perse way: slightly open over a tee, sleeves easy, hem untucked. White stays crisp enough for city use, but the washed finish prevents it from reading corporate; that tension is exactly why this shirt endures.
