Paul & Shark is an Italian brand founded in 1975. It specialises in yachting clothing and accessories. Paul & Shark shirts are made in Italy. They feature iridescent buttons, which are made of plastic (but it looks similar to mother-of-pearl). These buttons are sewn on by machines, without shanks. Side seams are double-needle stitched. Yokes are non-split. No hand stitching, no gussets. Sleeves are sewn on as usual. Fused and non-fused collars. Rounded hem. Paul & Shark uses 100% cotton and 100% linen fabrics (in my opinion, they are above average, but definitely not excellent).

Paul & Shark shirts are available in solid colours (various shades of blue and white, for example) as well as in checks, stripes and various prints (floral and abstract ones, etc). Weaves: poplin, oxford. Button-down and spread collars. Buttoned cuffs. Short and long sleeves. Sizes: S – XXL. Regular fit, slim fit.

You can buy Paul & Shark shirts at Nordstrom.com, HarryRosen.com, Flannels.com, StoneMenswear.co.uk, Woodhouseclothing.com or in Paul & Shark boutiques. Prices start at 165 USD (no VAT) or 100 GBP (incl. VAT). These shirts are sometimes available on sales. In my opinion, Paul & Shark shirts are overpriced.
