Bib-front shirt with band collar, concealed buttons, and full sleeves gathered at the cuff. Crisp and breathable. Today it is suited to formal occasions in warm climates. In Le Moult’s time, such shirts were worn for travel and receptions, balancing function with ceremony.

At receptions the bib-front added gravity to otherwise simple attire. Its starched panel set a dignified tone for conversations, whether at châteaux or in colonial outposts
