Cordone 1956 began in 1956 when Luigi Cordone Senior established the business around men’s shirtmaking. The brand has remained focused on shirts rather than expanding into a broad menswear range.
Its production is based in Italy and combines hand-cutting, hand-finishing and traditional shirtmaking methods. Cordone 1956 is known for classic dress shirts with an emphasis on fabric, collar shape, proportion and the small construction details that distinguish specialist shirtmaking.
That narrow focus gives Cordone 1956 the character of a specialist shirtmaker. Rather than building a large lifestyle collection, the brand keeps attention on fabric, collar shape, proportion and the hand-finishing details that define a well-made Italian shirt.
