A button down is (in my humble opinion) a closet staple. Perfect for an interview, cute on a night out and always impeccable thrown over a tee. But, alas, finding the perfect one is a often a challenge. Too fitted, too loose, too frilly, big in the shoulders or not quite long enough, shopping for shirts can be, at the very least, a trying experience. In comes Peau De Loup, a shirting company founded in Vancouver by two tomboys who struggled to come by a shirt with their ideal fit.
The “Alpha” shirt reflects, not imitates, the classic menswear shirt. Purposefully designed, Peau De Loup uses a closed loop sourcing process to create a button down for the contemporary renegade. In short, it’s a damn good shirt, designed for those of us who are tired of tailoring menswear to fit. With a myriad of both classic and eclectic colorways, it’s a shirt for everyone. And yes, in case you were wondering, they’ve got flannel.
“It’s about creating clothing that makes you feel the same on the outside as you do on the inside,” say the founders Adelle Renaud and Beccy Anderson.
Peau De Loup is offering 30% off for A+ members, so y’all are one step closer to that shirt of your tomboyish dream. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. Autostraddlers: you can get yourself one of these fine shirts FOR FREE. Yep. Free shirt. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us about your favourite Peau De Loup shirt, and one lucky winner will get it for free. How would you style your PDL pick? We’ll pick the winner on February 5th, 2015.
