The Dress Shirt
The Dress Shirt
Crafted from 100% Tencel lyocell, the Kanso dress shirt is a timeless essential designed for the modern gentleman.
The lightweight fabric drapes closer than cotton and moves moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the day‚ whether you're in a high-stakes meeting or attending a formal evening event.
With its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, this shirt transitions effortlessly from office wear to formal occasions such as weddings, dinners, or business conferences.
Pair it with tailored trousers for a sharp workday look or layer it under a blazer for refined evening sophistication.
Every KANSO garment is made in our own factory by skilled craftspeople. Keeping production in-house gives us complete control over quality while allowing us to build a workplace based on fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for the people behind every stitch. Because great clothing begins long before it's worn.
The full care code, in plain words — the same five instructions printed on the shirt label.

No inflated MRP. No permanent “sale”. A comparable shirt from a legacy label sits near ₹7,500 — because of markups we simply don't take.
One Fabric. Done Right
Tencel lyocell, woven as a close poplin.
The fibre begins as wood pulp, dissolved and spun in a closed-loop system that recovers over 99% of its solvent. What comes out is smoother than cotton, with a natural drape and a cool hand that holds through a long day.
Nothing else competes for attention. No prints. No logos. Just a cloth that moves with you and stays comfortable.
The Details
You notice the fabric. These four decide how long it lasts.
Feed-off-the-arm side seams: one continuous pass, the raw edges fully enclosed. Slower to make, but it lies flat against you and never frays.
Real shell, not resin — each one cut, polished and cross-stitched on. Heavier in the hand, and it catches light the way plastic never does.
German Freudenberg interlining through the collar and cuffs. It holds its shape wash after wash — no bubbling, no curling at the points.
Core-spun Coats from Madura Coats, stronger than the cloth it holds and colour-fast to the last wash.
The KANSO Repair Promise.
Buy less, keep longer — we mean it literally. We mend what we make, for as long as you own it. Spread across a decade of wear, ₹3,550 is a few rupees a wear.
Buttons, seams, hems, cuffs — send it in, we fix it, we send it back.
When it's genuinely worn out, send it back and we recycle the cloth.
We never replace this shirt with “next season”. We only make it better.
We started KANSO because we were tired of owning a lot and wearing a little. So, we decided to make one piece of clothing in each category, as well as they can be made, and we tell you exactly what's in it and what it costs. No reviews yet — we'd rather earn your trust with the shirt than borrow it from a star rating. If you're reading this early: thank you. You're the reason this exists.
