Gaia Alta

The "Alta" Shirt.
Seven years ago, we created the resort shirt, the first button-down collared shirt made from top-tier Italian fabric, with the breathability of a modern cycling jersey and original hand-painted designs. It quickly became a favorite, not just in cycling circles, but beyond, and has since been copied countless times. The Alta Resort is a shorter, sleeker version, designed to pair beautifully with bibs, leggings, and running shorts; perfect for anyone who appreciates style with movement.

The button-down shirt has long been a shorthand for easy sophistication, the preferred uniform of off-duty intellectuals, jazz musicians, and those European vacationers who always seem to have effortlessly perfect hair. Yet, for all its appeal, the traditional version remains a contradiction: too formal for play, too stifling for actual movement. The Alta Resort Shirt solves this paradox with Italian performance fabric that offers breathability and ease, while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
