Silk in warm weather works because of physics, not marketing. Natural mulberry silk regulates temperature in both directions: cooler when it's warm, warmer when the air conditioning overcompensates. What fails in heat is thin silk that clings. That is why the momme weight matters.
Made from 27 momme mulberry silk of Grade 6A equivalent quality, woven on heritage looms in Vietnam's historic silk villages and made one piece at a time by artisans with French seams throughout. At 27 momme, the fabric is 20 to 40% denser than the 19 to 22 momme standard: it moves with you, holds its structure in humidity, and does not show every adjustment you make. Machine washable on a delicate cycle. Available in sizes XS to 4XL.

Sizing
Silk does not stretch, so we cut
everything loose on purpose. A true-to-size fit drapes the way real silk is
meant to: skimming the body, never clinging to it. Order the size you normally
wear. If you are between two sizes, size down for a more tailored line, or stay
true for something more relaxed.
We make XS to 4XL. Same silk at
every size. Same French seams. Same quality. Because luxury should be for
everyone.
The size guide above has
chest, waist, and length in inches and centimeters.

Material and Care
Material and Care
Most silk on the market is
light. Ours is significantly heavier, which is the part you feel the moment you
pick a piece up: more silk per square inch, denser drape, smoother hand, far
less prone to pilling. It is the difference between silk that flatters a hanger
and silk that flatters a person.
It is woven on traditional looms
in Vietnam’s historic silk villages, then individually crafted into each
garment with French seams throughout. French seams enclose the raw edge of the
fabric inside a second, hidden seam. They take twice as long to sew and use
more fabric, which is why most brands skip them. They are also why our silk
survives the washing machine.
To care for it, slip the garment
into the silk pouch your order arrived in (or any mesh laundry bag), wash cold
on a delicate cycle with a gentle detergent, and lay it flat to dry. No bleach.
No dry cleaner. A care card is included in every order, in case you misplace
these instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this silk really machine
washable?
Yes. Slip the garment into the
silk pouch it arrived in, run a cold delicate cycle with a gentle detergent, and lay it flat to dry. No dry cleaner, ever. The reason it survives the washing machine is the construction: French seams throughout, woven and sewn the way silk has been cared for at home for centuries.
Why does silk this nice not
need dry cleaning?
Because it is built for daily life, not a glass case. Silk has been washed at home for thousands of years.
Dry cleaning is a fix for cheap construction and synthetic finishes, not a feature of real silk. Ours is woven on traditional looms and individually crafted with French seams that hold up to a washing machine.
What does “premium-density”
mean, and why does it matter?
Silk is measured by weight per square inch. Most silk on the market is light. Ours is significantly heavier.
The heavier the silk, the better it drapes, the longer it holds its color, the less it pills, and the longer it lasts. You feel the difference the moment you pick a piece up.
I am between sizes. Should I
size up?
No. Our cut is already loose, because silk does not stretch. Order the size you normally wear. If you want a more tailored line, size down. If you want more room, stay true.
Do you make silk for men?
Yes. Roughly two thirds of our customers are men. Pajamas, robes, boxers, and shirts in XS to 4XL. The same silk, the same French seams, the same care.
Will I have to iron it?
Almost never. Body heat softens silk wrinkles within minutes of wearing it, and a quick steam handles the rest.
If it is sleepwear, you can usually skip both. We share your dislike of ironing, which is part of why we love silk.
What are French seams, and
why do you use them?
A French seam encloses the raw edge of the fabric inside a second, hidden seam. The garment is finished inside and out, with no exposed threads anywhere. It takes twice as long to sew and uses more fabric, which is why most brands skip it. Turn any of our pieces inside out and look. That is not a marketing phrase, it is a construction
standard you can verify.
Is this silk suitable for
sensitive skin?
Yes. Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and temperature regulating, and ours is free from the harsh chemicals used in dry cleaning and synthetic finishes. Many of our customers with eczema and skin sensitivities tell us it is the first fabric they have been able to sleep in comfortably.
Can I wear this every day?
Yes. Our customers tell us they wear the same robe and pajama sets multiple times a week for years. The density
is the durability.
How does this compare to
satin?
Satin is a weave, usually made from polyester. Silk is a natural fiber. Polyester satin traps heat, pills quickly, and feels different against the skin within an hour of wearing it. Mulberry silk breathes, regulates temperature, and gets softer with wear.
Are these giftable?
Yes, and the gift wrapping is part of the gift. Every piece arrives in an artisan-crafted silk pouch you can reuse as a wash bag, a travel pouch, or a storage pouch.
What is the silk pouch that
comes with my order?
Instead of a disposable cardboard box, every Tara Sartoria piece arrives wrapped in a handcrafted silk pouch. It is the gift wrapping, the wash bag we recommend for machine-washing your silk, and a travel or storage pouch. One object, three jobs, no waste.
Do you offer free returns?
Free exchanges within 30 days on U.S. orders, including a prepaid label both ways. Standard returns are also welcome within 30 days with no restocking fee, but customers cover shipping unless the item arrived defective. Email care@tarasartoria.com to start either one.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. International shipping is a flat $35 and takes roughly two weeks. Because each piece is individually crafted in limited quantities, we cannot accept international returns or exchanges, so please email Tara at care@tarasartoria.com before you order and she will help you find the right size.

The "Luxury Artisan Silk Shirt for Men, Washable Pure Natural Mulberry Silk 27 Momme" exceeded my expectations. This 100% mulberry silk shirt is top notch! The silk feels substantial and still so smooth and soft. The sewing of the French seams is expertly done, there is no flaw visible at all. True craftmanship! I machine washed in the gentle cycle, then I dried for 10 minutes on air to get the wrinkles out and then I hung it up.It looks great, there is almost no steaming necessary...and it did not shrink! This is a super nice quality item. It's so nice that I might "borrow" it from my husband. The current price of $140 is well worth it; I checked on some big brand name men's silk shirts and found none under $500.
It’s incredibly soft against the skin and has a luxurious sheen that elevates any outfit. What’s even better is that it’s washable, making maintenance a breeze.
I really love this mulberry silk shirt for men and so I got this for my son who requested a silk shirt for an event we are attending. Mulberry silk is grade a quality so this was just perfect for him and a great add-on to his high-end wardrobe collection. The black color on this silk shirt is perfection. We just love how it came in a great quality silk bag. I am so happy that my son really likes it, and his first silk shirt, so he is so excited once it arrived. Very stylish and washable.
I've purchased several shirts and pajama sets from Tara and they're nothing short of flawless. They're extremely comfortable and timeless outfits, I will definitely be purchasing more!
My silk shirt arrived and it surpasses my expectations. It is pure luxury, and great fit.
My husband has always looked amazing in silk. He used to wear it a lot when we would go places, but over time, the silk shirts wore out and got old and it was too hard to find them again. When I saw this, i jumped on the chance to try it for him. HOW THIS COMES This comes in a silk bag that is hand made. There is a care sheet on it and really nice personal touch from the company in how they present their merchandise. SILK QUALITY I am a seamstress. I know fabric quality. The quality of this silk is top of the line. This company knows how to get good quality silk. I would put this on a high level desiigner range. COLOR The blue color is exactly as shown in the photo with the listing. WORKMANSHiP As I said, I am a seamstress used to working with high end designs. I know how high end designing and construction is supposed to be. This is top of the line workmanship. It is impeccable in sewing, and the french seams are well done. FIT This fits a bit oversized which is what we wanted exactly. My husband always likes to wear his shirts a bit on the oversized scale as it is very flattering on him. It looks amazing on him. The blue is the perfect color for him. CARE Washing this in gentle cycle in a fabric bag (or inside out) and then a quick run in the dryer just to get the wrinkles out is all this shirt needed to be cleaned and look really nice. I try to avoid ironing if I can. THE BOTTOM LINE I was surprised to see such high designer quality clothing to be honest. I can say with confidence this is some of the finest work you will see available. MY RATING FIVE STARS. Not only is this a top of the line product for an amazing price, but it is from a company that truly seems to care about people. I always try to have interaction with companies when I can and in this case, Tara Sartoria is one of the jewels out there. They are fantastic to work with, very good at what they do and the way companies used to be. I have to say this is one of the most impressive companies I have dealt with in a very long time. I do not say that lightly. PHOTO I am hoping to pin my husband down to get a photo of him in the shirt for you to see. It has been difficult to do, but when I succeed, I will update this review with a photo for you. Until then, I wanted to let you all know how fantastic this shirt is as it would be a perfect gift for the upcoming holidays or a birthday.
Crafted from pure and natural mulberry silk at an exquisite 27 Momme weight, this shirt from Tara Sartoria is the richest and softest silk shirt you'll ever own! This company is also Woman-owned and operated, plus being not only an ethiical and sustainable practices company- they also donate 10% of their profits to charity from every purchase, which is a great piece of mind! Not only does it exude a lustrous sheen, but it's also incredibly soft and hypoallergenic, offering unparalleled comfort. It makes a great gift for anyone that appreciates the luxury of silk! 10/10 This shirt is not only the best, but the fact that they have such good practices shows in the quality of their silk! It comes with its own storage bag, though if I were to put this goregeoous shirt in the wash, it wuldd definately need a mesh bag to keep it looking its best for as long as I possibly can!
The dye does bleed when you wash, but overall the shirt is absolutely gorgeous! It's super soft silk and looks nice quality.
Excellent. I already have a full set of Tara Sartoria pajamas, but when I ordered them I chose the large (for comfort and looseness in the waist) and wasn't all that happy with the voluminous size of the shirt. Rather than wear the oversized shirt I decided to pair the pajama trousers with this short sleeved silk shirt in a medium, and it works perfectly. The shirt is still a touch loose - I think you always want silk clothing to be a little oversized unless you're going for a very particular look - but it's fitted enough that I could wear it outdoors without feeling like I was just wearing the top half of my PJs. The silk is very shiny on arrival, and quite creased out of the bag, but I've found that this stuff responds really well to the washing machine. After a single wash in a mesh bag the lustre dies down a little and the silk looks wonderful, while still just as soft as ever. Long story short, if you're looking for extremely well made silk clothing I highly recommend this brand. I'm pretty much living in Tara Sartoria right now. It's like wearing nothing at all, it's so comfortable.
I’ve never had a shirt of this quality before. The Mulberry silk is very impressive, soft and luxurious. The drape and fit is perfect and I love that it came with instructions on washing within the included bag!
I have another Tara Sartoria shirt, a women's tank top, and love it. Got this for my guy, and I must say, this brand is consistenly high-quality in the stitching and fabric quality but does run a bit loose. So if you want a closer fit, you may want to size down. Personally, silk can be clingy for summer, so you might not want to, or might want to wear it open as a jacket. It's all up to how you want your shirt. The colors are fabmazing and accurate to the photos. Highly recommended.
I have numerous silk shirts that I love, but every one of them needs to be dry cleaned, so I wear them sparingly. Not anymore. This shirt is on par with the quality of the others I have, but can be washed on delicate cycle, inside out, using a wash bag. The shirt itself has a sheen to it and a satisfying heft. It fits as expected with a comfortable drape and super-soft fabric. The collar is stiff, but not in an uncomfortable way and the buttons have an opalescent quality to them. Well-made shirt that should last a long time with proper care.
Very nice. Extremely comfortable. No loose stitching or buttons. I've never owned any silk clothing before and didn't know what to expect - it's a very luxurious feeling shirt that produces a very cool feeling even on the hottest of days. Comes with its own drawstring travel bag made of the same Mulberry Silk.
I really like this silk shirt. It’s made from 100% silk. The shirt is super soft. The fabric is thick. I got my usual size, and it fits me well. Plus, it came in a nice gift bag. This shirt is well-made. It is perfect for my Tai-chi practice.
The media could not be loaded. The Tara Sartoria Luxury Artisan Silk Shirt for Men is the very best silk shirt. The video shows the perfect fit. Notice the crisp collar, full button down with designed buttons and how the jet black silk materials shine in the light. Spectacular! Silk is unmatched for its breathability, comfort and shine. Pair the Tara Sartoria Luxury Artisan Silk Shirt for Men with jacket for a posh look or wear alone and accent with bling. Either way, the luxurious Tara Sartoria Luxury Artisan Silk Shirt is certain to get attention in a very good way. I like that. I highly recommend the Tara Sartoria Luxury Artisan Silk Shirt for Men to everyone.
