Story
We long wanted to produce shirts in authentic madras fabrics, and the day has come. Our Button Down Popover collection is the most gregarious and colorful set of fabrics we have ever put together - and into a popover shirt. The Button Down popover has familiar characteristics to an oxford casual shirt - the collar namely, but also the long-sleeves with a single button barrel cuff. Simple construction details that make it a great garment. The biggest difference (aside from the fabrics of course), is the 4 button quarter placket. It’s a perfect addition to your travel itinerary this summer, and even into fall. It’s cool, comfortable, and rarely shows any wrinkles (a welcome benefit of the dense patterns and pops of color). It’s also got a ton of character, and we like to think of these garments as ones that allow you to be your most forward self, welcoming every moment of the day to create something magical.
While we love being the authority of better-fitting dress shirts, note that our sizing approach to popovers is a bit different - they’re meant to be worn a touch loose. Also, given you’re literally “popping” the garment on/off over your head, it makes for an uncomfortable experience when the fit is too snug. While our popover is meant to be more relaxed in fit, remember that it’s relaxed for Hugh & Crye... which is still tailored and made to flatter your body type. That’s what we do! Note that our popovers come in 5 sizes: Skinny, Slim, Athletic, Broad, and Big. Learn more about our popover sizing, or to find your size, try out our FitFinder.
Given this garment is 100% cotton, it will shrink if put in the dryer. We recommend machine wash cold and line dry. Touch up with an iron if needed!

Fabric
Our Button Down Popover is cut from a madras cotton and finished to give it a soft handfeel.
Sizing
The Button Down Popover is our newest product introduction and has a similar style to last year's "Band Collar Popover". And we’re introducing them in 5 sizes. Gasp! That's not a typo.
We're trying something new here, and with the best intention (read: your needs) in mind. Our Button Down Popover is cut a touch looser, but still flattering. There just wasn't the need for 12 sizes in a casual garment like this. So what does this mean for you? If you already know and love your H&C fit stick with your build and the body length should work out really well for you (i.e. if you wear Average/Slim, then get the Slim fit in Button Down Popovers).
