Broadcloth 908 Loafer Shirt

Inspired by the classic style of Ivy Leaguers from a bygone America, this loafer shirt features a clean, slim silhouette. Its standout detail is a playful chest pocket with a pen slot—subtle yet full of character. It’s a standard shirt, reimagined with quiet charm in the spirit of 45R.

Joining the story of 45R shirts is a new fabric: broadcloth. Because it’s a simple, plain weave, we took no shortcuts—every step, from the raw materials to the finishing process, was done with care and integrity, true to our belief in Japanese craftsmanship.

The cotton, grown in the hot climates of India, is known for its excellent absorbency, fine fibers, and soft texture. The yarns are naturally straight and lustrous, and when woven compactly, they produce a fabric with a smooth, refined sheen—perfect for a shirt that feels as good as it looks.
