Button-Down Shirts

Holderness & Bourne men's button-down shirts occupy a category of their own. They're sport shirts built from an innovative cotton-blend fabric that looks and feels like a traditional dress shirt but performs like a technical layer, wicking moisture and keeping you cool throughout the day. Swing Knit™ button-downs in particular deliver the polish of a dress shirt with the comfort and stretch of a performance polo, and require no dry cleaning. So while these long sleeve button-downs are every bit as refined as a classic men's dress shirt, they're engineered to keep up with a more active, on-the-go lifestyle.

A well-fitting men's long sleeve button-down shirt should sit cleanly across the shoulders without pulling, with enough room through the chest and torso to move comfortably without excess fabric bunching. The sleeves should reach the wrist without bunching at the forearm or riding up when you move, and the body length should be long enough to tuck neatly but not too long when worn untucked. H&B button-downs are designed with a tailored fit that works both tucked with chinos or trousers and untucked over denim, giving these shirts the versatility to transition between settings without compromising your look.

Yes, and that's a deliberate part of the design. Unlike traditional dress shirts that require dry cleaning or careful ironing, H&B button-downs are made to be low maintenance. Cotton-blend styles can be machine washed cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, tumble dried low, and ironed on a low heat setting if needed. Swing Knit™ styles go a step further, requiring no dry cleaning whatsoever. For anyone who travels frequently or simply wants a refined shirt that doesn't demand fussy upkeep, these button-downs are a practical choice without any sacrifice in appearance.

H&B button-down shirts are well suited for travel. The cotton-performance blend fabrics are designed to resist the heavy creasing that plagues traditional dress shirts in a suitcase or carry-on. Swing Knit™ styles in particular are engineered for easy care and recovery, emerging from a bag looking sharp with minimal effort. The spread collar construction also holds its shape without stiffeners or easy-to-lose removable stays. Whether you're packing for a work trip, a golf weekend, or a longer getaway, these men's button-down shirts are built to look polished from the moment you unpack them.
