Linen Utility Short Sleeve Shirt

Laird Hatters

£105

The short sleeve shirt is one of the harder garments to get right. Too boxy and it reads as casual to the point of careless. Too fitted and it loses the ease that makes it worth wearing in summer in the first place. The Laird Utility Linen Short Sleeve Shirt sits in the considered space between the two — a clean, well-proportioned shirt in pure linen that works as hard open over a T-shirt as it does buttoned to the collar. The front placket runs the full length with a neat button closure. There is no chest pocket — a deliberate choice that gives the shirt a cleaner line and a less utilitarian

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as LAIRD HATTERS LTD, number 11993504. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
