Emanuele Maffeis Black & Racing Green Cotton & Wool Blackwatch Shirt

Discover the Emanuele Maffeis shirt in black and racing green cotton and wool Black Watch tartan, a timeless pattern reinterpreted through one of Italy's finest shirtmakers. Blending the softness of cotton with the warmth of wool, the fabric has a gently brushed, flannel-like handle that feels comfortable from the first wear while remaining breathable enough for everyday use. The deep tones of black and racing green give the shirt a quiet versatility, pairing effortlessly with navy tailoring, brown corduroy, or faded denim throughout the cooler months.

The Black Watch tartan traces its origins to the early 18th century, when it was adopted by the Black Watch Regiment, one of Scotland's oldest Highland regiments. Its dark green and navy checks were chosen for their understated appearance, earning the nickname "the dark tartan", and have since become one of the most enduring and recognisable patterns in menswear. Emanuele Maffeis gives this historic design a contemporary feel through a soft cotton and wool cloth and the house's meticulous Italian craftsmanship, resulting in a shirt that honours tradition without feeling overly rustic. It's the kind of piece that brings depth and character to a wardrobe without ever dominating it.
