Vintage 1956 A. Sulka & Co White Dress Shirt UK 15.5 Self Pattern Cotton Formal Shirt London New Bond St
Description
Sulka & Company was one of the world's most prestigious luxury shirtmakers and gentlemen's outfitters, founded in New York in the late 19th century. They had flagship stores in New York, Paris, Chicago and London (169 New Bond Street) and were renowned for exceptional bespoke shirts, ties and dressing gowns. Their garments were worn by royalty, industrialists and Hollywood stars, making them highly sought after today by collectors of luxury vintage menswear.
Crafted in crisp white cotton with an elegant woven geometric self-pattern, this shirt features a classic pointed collar, French-style double cuffs and a beautifully tailored mid-century silhouette. Pieces from Sulka are highly collectible, particularly dated examples such as this.
Please note this shirt has significant damage to the lower back with what appears to be scorch marks and several small holes (shown clearly in the photographs). The front presents well and the shirt would suit collectors, costume, display, study or a sympathetic restoration project rather than everyday wear.
