Shirts by the brand Jack & Jones

Brande, 1990: a brand born from denim

Jack & Jones was established in 1990 in Brande, Denmark, as part of the ready-to-wear group Bestseller. Its first collection, focused on jeans and aimed at young men, was showcased at the Oslo fashion fair, and the first store opened the same year in Trondheim, Norway. Starting from this specialty, the brand later expanded its offering to the entire men's ready-to-wear sector, including shirts, with a constant guiding principle: modern cuts, often fitted, and basics that are easy to mix and match.

Denim or chambray shirt: denim on the shirt side

True to its roots, the brand readily offers denim in shirt form. The denim shirt is woven in twill, a diagonal weave that makes it sturdy and gives it fine visible diagonal ridges. The chambray resembles it at first glance, with its blue warp and white weft, but it is woven in plain fabric, a simple cross that makes it thinner, lighter, and more breathable. The first is suitable for mid-season and can be worn almost like a jacket; the latter is worn alone, with rolled-up sleeves, when the weather is mild.

Slim or regular fit: finding your fit

Jack & Jones sizes its shirts in several fits. The slim fit is tapered at the waist and fitted at the sleeves: it shapes the silhouette but requires a good understanding of one’s build. The regular fit, more straight, leaves room around the belly and arms. When in doubt between two sizes, opt for the larger in slim fit, and the closer fit in regular. Regarding care, a wash at thirty degrees, inside out, protects the seams and buttons; denim should be washed with dark colours to keep its hue longer.

Frequently asked questions

Does a denim shirt bleed?

A raw or very dark denim may release some dye during the first washes. Wash it alone or with dark colours, inside out and at a low temperature, until the rinse water runs clear.

Why does a slim shirt gap between the buttons?

A gap between the buttons at the chest indicates a size that is too tight. The next size up, or a shirt made from slightly stretchy fabric, solves the problem without sacrificing the fitted look of the cut.

What sleeve length should I choose for a shirt?

With arms down at your sides, the sleeve should stop at the base of the thumb. If it's too short, it rides up when you raise your arms; if too long, it creates unsightly folds around the wrist.

Can a shirt be worn without ironing?

Yes, provided it's hung damp on a hanger and the collar and button placket are smoothed out by hand. Thick fabrics, like Oxford or denim, handle this treatment particularly well.

How do you measure your build for a shirt?

You measure a well-fitting shirt laid flat, from one shoulder seam to the other, across the top of the back. When wearing it, the seam should fall exactly at the edge of the shoulder, neither on the arm nor pulled back.
