A note from Alain

I love the versatility of this collar. It pairs perfectly with a jacket or tie, but also shines when worn on its own. The perfect Oxford shirt for your weekends and more casual outfits.

To give your shirt a good and long life please follow these simple guidelines:
  • Avoid dry cleaning: it can halve a shirt lifetime.
  • Prefer machine wash at 30°C to 40°C. Go up to 60°C if really needed (white only). No bleach please. Wash similar colors together.
  • Prefer natural drying (on a hanger), avoid tumble dry. This will preserve fibres and ensure your garment lasts longer.
  • Medium iron, medium to little steam. Choose cotton program if you have one.

Effortless oxford

Introducing BAUHAUS 02 – a fresh, GOSSUIN take on a contemporary staple: the oxford shirt.

The collar designed with distinct character hides beautiful carefully crafted 1930s-inspired curves behind its apparent simplicity. This is a soft-spoken statement piece.

Crafted from 190g/m² fabric, BAUHAUS 02 strikes the perfect balance between mid-weight sturdiness and all-day comfort. Toss it on your chair, and wear it again the next day.

Discover your everyday essential in BAUHAUS 02.

A sturdy and easy oxford

A lasting shirt starts with robust fabrics and materials.

We chose a 100% cotton fabric with a weight of 190g/m² which makes it an excellent option all year long. It is certified OEKOTEX and available in optical white and a stunning light blue and white stripes.

Alain qualifies this fabric as "boyish", meaning it is sturdy as hell, easy to maintain and wear. Its thickness ensures it will not wrinkle easily and eliminates any talks about fabric transparency.

Shaped facings for a collar that stays still

One of our defining features, shaped facings are the secret behind our impeccable collar structure. With their precise design, they ensure that the collar stays tall and firm, maintaining its shape no matter what.

Starting below the chest and running up to the neckline, these facings outline a sleek V-shape that adds an extra touch of elegance to the shirt. It's the kind of high-end finish that sets our shirts apart from the rest.

A cuff like no other

The cuff of the GOSSUIN shirt bears a unique and distinctive hallmark - a scalloped edge that delicately curves around the thumb, allowing for an effortless placement of the cuff on the wrist.

This is the GOSSUIN signature.

A sleeve designed with movement in mind

Our sleeve design is not your ordinary sleeve. Instead of the traditional placement below the wrist, our sleeve placket gracefully sits on the outside of the sleeve, in alignment with the little finger. A delicate stopstitch reinforces the placket at its most fragile spot No more carving your desk!

Crafted in two parts, our ergonomic sleeves draw inspiration from military wear, allowing for better drape and ease of movement.

Unlike mass-produced shirts, we sew our sleeves separately before attaching them to the body of the shirt, resulting in a seam mismatch at the armpit level. But the benefits are worth it: improved comfort, better arm mobility, and a high-end finish found only in bespoke and luxury garments.

Back in bias

Back fabric panels are cut and set in the bias (45 degrees angle with the weave line) and sewn together symmetrically across the central seam, forming a stunning "V" shape.

This ingenious technique provides an unmatched level of elasticity, comfort, and freedom of movement, making it possible to create 100% natural garments without man made fibers.

This technique is a hallmark of a GOSSUIN creation and has been used for virtually all shirts created so far.

A better bottom

The hemline of the shirt is designed to create a sleek and stylish silhouette. The straight bottom is accented by a subtle curve at the back, while the front is elegantly curved, creating a unique and modern look.

To ensure the durability of this design, we reinforced the hem junction with a stop-stitch. This technique adds strength to the hemline without the need for unsightly hem gussets that you may see on other shirts.

The result is a clean and polished finish that elevates the overall look of the shirt.

Locked-up buttons

We commissioned custom real mother-of-pearl (sand, mineral gray) and river shell (white) buttons that elevate the style of the shirt.

To ensure that the buttons remain secure and easy to fasten, we used lockstitches and a special thermo-fusible thread that wraps around the shank of each button.

The result is a durably secured and easy to fasten button, providing a high-end finish to the shirt. This technique is widespread in bespoke shirt tailoring and luxury items.

The last buttonhole on the central button placket is positioned horizontally to help maintain the bottom of the shirt in place against the hip when the shirt is tucked in.

That said, by measuring it, we can identify how to gradually reduce it on every new creation.

A story about heritage

When thinking about naming things, there sometimes are names that are so obvious that they naturally come to light. BAUHAUS 02 was one such obvious name.

Sure, invoking a monument of the 20th century comes with a lot of baggage. This famous school and the ensuing Bauhaus movement spread through the world of art during the twenties and early thirties and still inspire generations of designers today.

The homage was natural for us since the pursuit of pure geometrical shapes is both at the core of the movement and of our approach to design.

For the mathematicians out there, it could be argued this is almost a squared homage. The Bauhaus approach can indeed be summarized as the willingness to reconcile a durable and artistic industrial vision with an aesthetic that is both functional and most of all useful.

We feel this would not describe better what we try to achieve at GOSSUIN: focused creative essentials, accessible and manufactured to last.

An edgy homage

The pointy collar is truly the centerpiece of what makes this shirt a truly Bauhaus shirt. Collars of the twenties were characterized by fairly large points and generous curves. The point was also going down by a significant amount on the body of the shirt and its length was much larger than that of current 2021 taste.

It's precisely with these elements in mind that we tried to create a collar that would constitute a modern take on the collar of the 30s. We especially wanted to preserve the curves and points without it being eccentric which is why we limited the point to 7cm.

The collar of the 20s by GOSSUIN, the 2020s that is, was born.

Fabrics that work

We wanted to push the homage down to the kind of fabrics we offer for the shirt. Style wise, the 30s were marked by a certain amount of austerity due to the post-WW1 context.

Fabrics were often sturdy and colors revolved around whites, light blues and discreet stripes. As people were mostly working in shirts, the fabrics had to be practical and easy.

Year responsibly.
