Parlez Sparkman Zip Shirt

Inspired by classic workwear styles, this navy edition of the Sparkman Zip Shirt from Parlez is made from 100% cotton twill which has a smooth, durable finish. The front is fastened by a full length silver zip which leads to the collar neckline and means you can either wear this style as a heavyweight shirt or lightweight jacket throughout the year. On either side of the chest vertical patch pockets have side entrance points with bar tack stitching for extra strength and on either side of the waist welt entrance pockets offer additional space to carry essential items. On the reverse a box pleat sits below the shoulder yoke for subtle shaping and the long sleeves have single button cuffs with a short placket above that lets you roll the fabric to suit. On the left side of the front, close to the straight cut hem, a white woven label shows simplistic ‘Parlez’ lettering which adds signature branding to the design.

Since launching in 2012, Bristol, UK based Parlez has gained a strong following for its simple, functional designs which are often decorated with custom graphics that incorporate straight lines, geometric shapes and references to maritime history. Created with the shifting seasons in mind, SS20 offers lightweight mid layers, versatile pullovers and heavier water resistant outerwear to ensure you’re covered from the changing elements.
