Eton is a Swedish label, which specialises in shirts. It was established by David and Annie Pettersson in 1928. Most Eton shirts are made in Lithuania, Romania and Estonia. They feature single-needle stitching (7-8 stitches per 1 cm.), pulverised MOP buttons (shanked). No gussets, no hand-stitching. Yokes are non-split. Sleeves are sewn on as usual.
