Windward Shirt

Windward Shirt

Our Windward Shirt is a truly versatile piece for the spring–summer season, crafted from the softest linen to create a warm yet breathable layer.

A collared, swing-style shirt with a single side pocket, it features fluted sleeves and body for a relaxed silhouette. The back pleat adds gentle volume and dips lower than the front for a flattering shape.

Finished with concealed buttons and a clean, simple cut, it falls neatly to the hipline at the front. 3/4 length sleevesmake it perfect for layering, and it can also be worn open as a casual light over-jacket.

Available in  3 seasonal colour-ways.

Birdy — Spring/Summer Collection 2026

By The Make Shed

Designed and constructed in the UK, Birdy is a new collection from The Make Shed

Birdy begins in the quiet of early spring. A window left slightly open. Cool air drifting in.

The soft sound of birdsong as the day begins.  It’s that moment just before everything fully wakes — when the light is pale, the air is fresh, and the morning feels full of possibility. The kind of start that stays with you.

After months of weight and layering, everything feels lighter. The days stretch. The light softens. There’s a sense of returning — to yourself, to movement, to ease. This collection follows that shift.  Natural fibres sit gently against the skin — soft wool that still holds a trace of warmth, European linen that moves with the body, light and breathable.

Nothing forced, nothing excessive. Just pieces that feel honest, effortless, and alive in the moment.   The palette is drawn from the season as it wakes. Washed skies, pale blossoms, sun-faded tones.

Colours that don’t demand attention, but settle quietly into it.  Birdy is about that feeling of renewal.  A lightness in how you dress, and how you carry yourself.  Like the first birdsong in the morning—soft, uplifting, and full of promise.

Handmade in the UK.
