Van Laack shirts: craftsmanship since 1881

Heinrich van Laack founded his company in Berlin in 1881 with a clear goal: to make an exceptional shirt. Over the years, Van Laack became a household name for craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail. The brand later moved to Mönchengladbach and further expanded its international presence.

A Van Laack shirt is characterized by carefully chosen fabrics, a refined construction and recognizable details. The house combines classic shirt tradition with modern material development and comfortable fits.

The characteristic three-hole button and Royal tradition

A recognizable detail is the Van Laack button with three holes. Certain versions are made of natural shell material and attached with a button stem for extra strength. The historical name “the royal shirt” refers to the luxury positioning that the brand developed early on.

The exact buttons, collar, cuffs and fabric vary per model. Always check the product details for available shirts. Van Laack works with selected cotton qualities, two-ply yarns, jersey, linen and innovative fabrics such as lighter Air Cotton.

Van Laack shirt and fit

The correct size starts at the collar, but chest, waist, shoulders and sleeve length are just as important. A slim model has a tighter fit, while a regular fit offers more space. The collar should close comfortably and the shoulder seam should be at the natural shoulder point.

The online offer may change and will be replenished when stock is available. Artson Fashion is happy to help you with collar size, fit and sleeve length as soon as the desired shirt is available.

How to combine Van Laack

Wear a white or light blue shirt with a men's suit. A subtle design works with men's trousers or dark jeans. Also view our men's shirts, men's ties and all men's clothing.

Care of Van Laack shirts

Always follow the washing label. Wash the shirt inside out, treat the collar and cuffs carefully and remove it from the machine in time. Ironing is often easier when the fabric is still slightly damp. Do not use more heat than necessary.

Match the shirt to your routine

For a Van Laack shirt you will wear regularly, think about the collar, cuff and fabric together. A plain shirt offers an adaptable base for ties and textured jackets, while a restrained pattern adds interest under a simpler blazer. Compare sleeve length with your arms relaxed and bent, and make sure the cuffs sit comfortably.

If you intend to wear the shirt beneath a suit, try that combination rather than assessing it alone. Enough room through the chest and shoulders makes everyday movement easier, while the correct length helps the shirt stay neatly tucked in. Our team in Haacht can help you interpret the available fit information and compare sizes when stock is available.
