The Shirt Hospital
An artisanal service for your favorite shirts
You’ve worn that shirt down to the threads, and we get it: it’s always the favorite that wears out the fastest, the one that’s lived your best stories. Rather than giving up on your go-to piece, expert hands operate to get it back on its feet, whether it’s from Cinabre or any other brand. Our Shirt Hospital allows it to return to active duty with even more attitude.
The frayed collar intervention
A breathless collar is not the end of the line. We unpick the battered neckline and meticulously replace it. And since tracking down the original fabric is out of the question, we make a clean cut with a crisp, immaculate white collar. A targeted procedure that extends the shirt's life while giving it a serious stylistic kick.
The full transplant: collar and cuffs
When the wear has spread, our artisans simultaneously replace the collar and cuffs with sturdy white cotton finishes. It’s a radical transformation that saves your shirt from early retirement, turning it into a sharp two-tone staple prepped for the next decade.
Our Cinabre collar
Your shirts will benefit from our proprietary French collar, the "Cocteau", as a nod to the ever-necktied poet’s elegance. We designed a unique pattern so it stands tall without ever suffocating the silhouette. Its lines remain closed, with just the right opening to let a necktie or a bow tie speak for itself.
Long-term craftsmanship
Repair rather than discard. Behind this clinical approach, Cinabre continues to champion a perennial wardrobe and long-term craftsmanship. Crafting sturdy pieces isn't enough: we have to make sure the ones you already own can age right alongside you.
