Logbook SS2018
This has been the most challenging yet rewarding years of my life. Having a start up is an enormous yet exciting endeavor to take on. Everyday you face new problems and adventures, but the reward is priceless.The name ENTREPRENEUR is french for “has ideas, does them”. This is exaclty who I am, what Old Captain is. Having a vision, a project, a dream and without being afraid, working hard at making it happen. This season we began to produce our own exlusive patterns with some incredibly talented young artists. Old Captain is so young and there is so much room to test, disrupt and discover for our brand and our products. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Men’s collars & pockets From timeless cut away to sporty button down and stylish korean. Our range of shirt collars is designed to suit any style and face shape. Shirt pockets are essentially where fashion meets function.

Button down From casual to well-dressed; the iconic Button Down Collar gets you ready for any style in a second.

How to care If you take proper care of your new favourite shirt, then it can last many years, even if nothing lasts for ever. Read our good advice to extend the lifespan of your shirts. This information covers cotton shirts. Other quality fabrics may require other treatments.
Before washing
Ironing
Undo all buttons, empty any pockets and remove the collar bones. Turn the shirt inside out. Read the shirt’s washing instruction label.
1. Place the collar flat. Iron the collar’s underside (the reverse side), from the collar edge to the middle, while also stretching the top seam.
REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE OLD CAPTAIN PIN!
2. Iron the upper side (the face side) in the same way. 3. Iron the shoulder yoke; the inside first and then the outside.
After washing
4. Iron the cuffs; the inside first and then the outside.
It is preferable to let the shirt drip dry, without spin drying. Gently stretch the shirt’s seams and place on a hanger.
5. Iron the arms in the same way. 6. Place the shirt flat with the front pieces together. Iron the side seams first, then the front pieces. 7. Turn the shirt inside out and iron the back of the shirt.
Storage Hang or fold the shirt after washing and ironing. It is best to store the shirt on a hanger with the collar button done up. If the shirt is to be stored folded, then do up all the buttons.
