Prequel, S1007 Checked Open-Collar Shirt, Beige

We’re thrilled to welcome Japanese label Prequel to Wardrobe 19.

We first discovered Prequel at a tradeshow in Berlin last year, where their shirts immediately stood out for their extraordinary fabrics—some of the finest we've ever come across. It was a clear decision: we had to bring them to Copenhagen.

Naturally, Prequel hails from Japan 🇯🇵
Their shirt-making craft is rooted in deep history, drawing inspiration from a rare 1907 fabric sample book by Claude Fréres (J. & Co., Paris). With microscopic attention to detail, Prequel revives these vintage textiles, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens.

The Open-Collar Shirt

A timeless summer staple, the open-collar shirt traces its origins to the early 1900s, where it was worn for leisure and sports—particularly around beaches and resorts. Its laid-back design prioritizes comfort and ease.

Today, it pairs effortlessly with casual trousers like jeans, chinos, or shorts. For an even more relaxed silhouette, try it with wide-leg pants. Versatile and stylish, it fits right in—from everyday wear to your next coastal getaway.
