Long Sleeve T-Shirt with Buttons – Guide

Short answer: A long sleeve t-shirt with buttons at the neck gives a dressier look than an ordinary crew neck. Our selection with buttons is limited, but polos and long sleeve bamboo t-shirts cover most of the same needs with the same soft comfort.

What is a long sleeve t-shirt with buttons?

The style is also called a grandad or serafino: a long sleeve t-shirt with a short row of buttons at the neck instead of a collar. Style-wise it sits between the t-shirt and the shirt, and it works well with both jeans and chinos.

Being honest about the selection

We only carry a few styles with buttons, so start by having a look at bamboo polos for men, which have both a collar and buttons, or the classic long sleeve bamboo t-shirts for men, which give the same clean look without buttons. If you need something more formal, take a look at our small selection of bamboo shirts for men.

Why bamboo is a good choice for tops

Bamboo viscose breathes and wicks moisture away, so you avoid the clammy feeling you can get in dense synthetic fabrics. Read more about how bamboo regulates temperature, or find the rest of the wardrobe under bamboo clothing for men.
