Olymp non-iron Luxor shirts in pink and blue: long sleeve, easy care, smart, comfortable to wear

Olymp make beautiful shirts and we're pleased to add more of their Luxor non-iron 100% cotton long sleeve shirts to our online shop. These pink shirts and blue shirts are great for business and leisure, looking smart both with suits and with less formal attire.

We have a pink shirt with subtle self-pattern in the weave, a plain pink shirt with Paisley lining inside the collar, and a plain blue shirt with Paisley lining inside the collar. At the moment we have stock in all sizes from 15.5 inch neck to 18 inch neck. Olymp describe these shirts as "modern fit", but I know from wearing them myself that they are a standard cut (and are certainly not slim-fit).

Olymp Luxor shirts are finely tailored with nice details such as contrast buttons and a subtle Olymp logo on the cuff. Wrinkle free, non-iron, and breathable, they are great for practicality too.

You are welcome to order online or to call us in the shop on 01874 623613 to check availablity and order over the telephone - we'll be glad to help.
