3R M1308 Regular Korean Collar Shirt - Gauze Viscose Wool Black Men's Made in Italy
Lightness as a Design Decision
The M1308 is a gauze shirt — and gauze, in the hands of LA HAINE INSIDE US, is not a compromise. An 85% viscose, 15% wool blend woven into an open, airy structure that breathes in summer and layers in winter. The Korean collar removes the conventional and replaces it with something cleaner. Black makes it permanent.
Why This Shirt Is Different
- Gauze Construction: An open-weave structure that allows air to circulate freely — lightweight without being insubstantial, with a subtle texture visible at close range.
- Viscose-Wool Blend: 85% viscose delivers fluid drape and breathability; 15% wool adds body and a faint warmth that makes this a true three-season piece.
- Korean Collar: A stand collar with no lapel — clean, architectural, and deliberately non-conventional. Elevates the shirt from casual to considered.
- Regular Fit: Neither oversized nor slim — a proportional fit that works as a standalone or as a layering base.
- Button Closure and Cuffs: Clean button-through front and buttoned cuffs — precise finishing on a deliberately understated silhouette.
- All-Black: No contrast stitching, no detail for its own sake — the weave and the collar do the work.
- Made in Italy: Fully constructed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's exacting production standards.
- Year-Round Versatility: Light enough for warm months, structured enough to layer under a coat in autumn.

The Moment You Put It On
The gauze is immediately apparent — lighter than you expect, with a slight openness to the weave that you feel against the skin before you see it. The Korean collar sits close to the neck without constricting. The viscose falls cleanly from the shoulder. It is a shirt that disappears into comfort while remaining visually present.
Worn buttoned to the collar, it reads as intentional minimalism. Open over a tee, it becomes a layer with texture. Either way, the M1308 earns its place in the rotation by being genuinely useful — and genuinely considered.
The Art of Gauze Weaving
Gauze is one of the oldest textile structures — an open, plain weave with a loose thread count that creates a fabric lighter and more breathable than its weight suggests. On the M1308, the gauze construction is applied to a viscose-wool blend, which means the openness of the weave is balanced by the natural body of the wool. The result is a fabric that moves like viscose but holds its shape like a woven — airy in hand, structured in silhouette. It is a technical choice that reads as effortless.
How to Wear It
- Tonal Black: M1308 buttoned to the Korean collar, black trousers, leather boots — clean, complete, no accessories needed.
- Open Layer: Worn open over a fitted black tee, dark jeans, low-profile sneakers — the gauze texture adds depth without weight.
- Under a Coat: Korean collar visible above a structured overcoat — the collar detail does the work of a statement piece.
- Contrast Texture: Paired with heavy denim or technical cargo trousers — the lightness of the gauze against a heavier bottom creates intentional material contrast.
Care Instructions
- Hand wash or machine wash cold (30°C max), gentle cycle
- Wash inside out to preserve the gauze weave structure
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry — hang to dry away from direct sunlight
- Iron on low heat if needed; the gauze weave is delicate under high heat
- Do not dry clean
The M1308 is proof that restraint is its own form of ambition. A gauze shirt in black viscose-wool, with a Korean collar and Italian construction — nothing added, nothing missing. LA HAINE INSIDE US. Viscose Wool Gauze. Made in Italy.
