Jersey by Heron’s Ghyll
We’re simple people, but the industrialization of fashion has made finding good jersey pieces an impossible quest.
For us, good jersey must have:
- A boxy fit for comfort, and to fake a bigger chest. Sadly, the last decade’s t-shirts have fallen victim to a length-to-width ratio over 1.4, thanks to the skinny silhouette that’s dominated since Hedi’s Dior era.
- Natural fibers. Our sensitive skin, raised in the tropics, still remembers the polyester-induced horrors of heat and humidity.
- High-quality fabric. We know the difference between intentional slub and cheap pilling.
- Tags that don’t scratch. There’s nothing like a good t-shirt ruined by a scratchy, woven polyester label at the nape of the neck.
- No visible branding. We’re all for signaling, but we prefer a more subtle approach.
- No ribbed cuffs on long sleeves. We’d rather go with a loose or rolled sleeve look on a sweatshirt.

Thus, after styling our suits with t-shirts for the past year, we decided it was finally time to dive into jersey.
But if we were going to do jersey, it had to be done the Heron’s Ghyll way:
White Ribbed Cotton Henley, Light Washed Denim Cuffed Elastic Waist Trousers
- A boxy fit with a length-to-width ratio closer to 1.1. The shorter length makes it easy to size up without venturing into t-shirt dress territory.
- Natural, organic materials—only the finest: extra-long staple combed cottons, organic Supima, ultrafine merino. 100% cotton labels. British corozo buttons. The works.
- No logos, just an internal label.
- Luxury construction with recessed shoulder seams to reduce stress and keep the seam hidden from the front. Self-fabric tape for comfort and support.
- Made in London with locally knitted, certified organic fabrics. Artisanally crafted, not mass-produced.

For our first jersey collection, we stuck with an elegantly restrained color palette of creams, blacks, and grays.
