Reese takes the shirt you already know and gives it a waist. Nothing tucked, nothing forced.

The Reese is a shirt made from 100% cotton denim, true to size. It has a collar, a full button-front placket, and cap sleeves. The back side seams are partially elasticated, around three-quarters of the way, not reaching the button stand, giving the shirt shape and definition without pulling it into a fitted or peplum silhouette. The last button carries the signature red thread, as does the back loop tab. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The elastication runs partway along the back side seams, stopping short of the button stand, so it shapes rather than clings. It's not fitted, and it's not meant to be worn tucked in.

The back carries a small loop tab below the collar, finished with the same red thread as the last button. The collar and full button-front keep it grounded, and the cap sleeve keeps the whole thing easy through the shoulder.
