Design & Performance
The Altare shirt is engineered for durability and consistent performance in a professional setting. The long-sleeve design and structured collar provide a formal silhouette that remains sharp under a jacket or when worn on its own. The superfine cotton used in this garment is selected for its strength and ability to withstand the rigours of frequent wear. Unlike synthetic blends, this 100% cotton fabric manages moisture naturally, keeping the wearer cool in warmer environments while providing a substantial feel that signifies quality craftsmanship.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, the Brook Taverner Altare is an ideal candidate for bespoke customisation. Our Telford-based team, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, can apply high-quality embroidery to create a superior professional finish.

Practical Advice
The classic fit of the Altare shirt is designed to be comfortable and non-restrictive. When selecting your size, consider that 100% cotton garments offer less stretch than synthetic alternatives, so choosing a size that allows for natural movement is recommended. This shirt layers exceptionally well under a tailored blazer or a V-neck knitwear piece for a smart, multi-layered professional look.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the superfine cotton and the herringbone weave requires adherence to the machine-washable instructions. We recommend a standard domestic wash at the specified temperature to ensure the fabric remains supple and the custom branding stays intact. Overloading the machine should be avoided to prevent excessive creasing and mechanical wear on the cotton fibres.
To preserve the vibrancy of the fabric and any custom embroidery, avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents which can weaken the natural cotton fibres and cause discolouration. When ironing, a medium heat setting is advised to smooth out the herringbone texture without scorching the fabric, ensuring your shirt remains in a condition that reflects your professional standards.
