Where are few sartorial items as underutilized as the half sleeve shirt for men – a short-sleeve button-up shirt. One of the only pieces of clothing to successfully combine the athletic aura of a T-shirt with the uber-masculine appeal of a full-sleeve dress shirt, the half-sleeve shirt became popular in the fifties and sixties, only to hurtle down the high-fashion hierarchy in subsequent decades.
The reforging of the half-sleeve shirt’s reputation as a stylish garment is in line with the unambiguous tilt of men’s fashion towards all things casual. What even fashion mavericks love, however, is its great practicality, particularly in warm weather when the shirt’s short sleeves and lightweight fabric – typically cotton or linen – promise to keep you adequately aerated.
Envisioned as just-right casual wear – your go-to choice of clothing when you don’t want to look sloppy and don’t want to be seen dressed to the nines – the Merchant Marine range of half sleeve shirts online is a mix of elegance, fun, and flamboyance. Crafted out of the finest cotton, every shirt in the collection is guaranteed to provide superlative comfort when peak summer hits. It is also a remarkably versatile collection – the color palette varies from pastel to vivid, and the spectrum of patterns is bewilderingly wide, from conventional checks to quirky pyramid motifs.

Stylishly vibrant at first sight, this is a collection brimming with choices, all of them irresistibly attractive. The superior cotton fabric, used in the construction of these shirts, is visibly reflected in their light-weighted softness and subdued sheen. Available in a slim fit, every half sleeve shirt is meant to provide that desirable snug fit – neither baggy nor body-hugging. Print lovers are going to love the spectacular diversity on offer – we have shirts featuring polka dots, floral prints, mini-pyramid designs, pine tree motifs, graph checks, and what have you. But even non-print lovers are sure to be fascinated by the subtlety at play, the motifs adding only a modicum of exuberance without overwhelming the ensemble.

Create a fail-safe “smart casual” look – apt for dinner dates and family get-togethers – with our red wine half sleeve shirt for men, featuring a tiny polka dot white print shirt.

Did anyone say only a “macho man” could be suave?
Pull off the sporty sophisticated look at an informal event with the navy blue check shirt, skinny black jeans, and white high-top sneakers. Finish with a multi-layered braided leather bracelet and leave the top two buttons undone to play up the devil-may-care vibe.
When buying a half sleeve shirt for men, it is important to consider certain factors such as fit and fabric. The shirt should have a comfortably snug fit across your shoulders, chest, and sleeves, but never tight enough to cause pulling or creasing in the material. Also, avoid half-sleeve shirts in synthetic fabrics like polyester and poly-cotton blends as they aren’t breathable and don’t drape well. Cotton should be your fabric of choice, not least due to its breathable and structured texture – good for comfort and smart looks respectively.
