Men's Newtown Shirt
A smart, slimmer fitting work shirt that’s packed with Rohan technology.
Read more…Our trim-fitting Newtown Shirt has been specifically designed to be as versatile as possible.
It's packed with clever technology such as a Dynamic Moisture Control™ fabric finish and Silvadur™ anti-bacterial treatment. In English, this means it wicks efficiently and you'll still be nice to be near even if the office air-conditioning has thrown its hand in.
The subtle gingham pattern is smart enough to wear with a tie if the office dress code demands it, but pulls off the neat trick of looking nice and casual should you pop into a bar or a restaurant on the way home.
We've included some nice detailing such as the pleated rear yoke to provide plenty of freedom plus a handy buttoned chest pocket.
Speaking of which, it dries in three hours - how handy is that for business travel?
Like we said, it's really versatile and great for work or travel.
Fabric:
: 56% polyamide, 44% polyester with Dynamic Moisture Control™ and Silvadur™ odour control technology
Lightweight - Weight: 175g
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Packable - Pack Size: 500ml
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
Fast Drying - Drying Time: 3 hours
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
ANTI ODOUR SILVER
Garments treated with our Anti Odour Silver technology benefit from the natural antimicrobial properties of silver. Tiny traces of silver, distributed evenly throughout the garment, inhibit the growth of bacteria reducing mould and odour. This treatment is permanent – it will never wash or wear out.
SUN PROTECTION UPF 40+
This garment has been tested in accordance with recognized international standards for ultraviolet radiation protection – and has been awarded a rating of UPF 40+. The protection offered may be significantly reduced with extended wear or if the garment is stretched or wet. Any associated UV risks will vary according to individual skin type or medical history.
DYNAMIC MOISTURE CONTROL™
DMC™ is a wicking treatment that rapidly spreads the moisture our bodies create across the surface area of a garment. This can be achieved through the technical construction of the garment or by a performance coating and ensures that the garment dries more quickly, encourages evaporative heat loss and helps you stay cooler and more comfortable for longer.
1 Secure Pocket
Losing the odd bit or bob when you’re close to home is rarely an issue, but losing car hire keys, passport, phone or wallet becomes more important than ever in a far off land. That’s why lots of thought goes into safer pockets – deeper, zipped and hidden.

Stylish shirt
I read the product information and reviews so ordered this shirt in XL thinking it might be a tight fit in my normal large size. Wrong of course and I returned it for my normal large size which was quickly despatched. The replacement shirt is a perfect fit and the shirt itself has a luxury feel. Very happy with my purchase.
Newtown shirt
I stopped buying Rohan shirts when the styles became 'square'. That is, too wide for height. This slimmer fit is ideal for a reasonably fit 65 year old. I'm grateful for the longer sleeve length too.
Great shirt - easy to wear and care for
These are my go-to shirt for summer wear business or casual. They are a slimmer fit than some baggier shorts and I like that. They don't need washing on every wear (subject to use of course) and they don't need ironing which is essential. I have long & short sleeved versions. They wear and wash well and I highly recommend them.
Love the Newtown shirt
I have several Newtown shirts and I am very pleased with them.
I particularly like the slightly slim fit as I am fit and have a relatively trim waist.
I also have several other Rohan shirts, in particular polos and Merino short sleeved shirts, plus t shirts.
They are all size Medium and they all fit in the same way, just right.
I would implore you not to change the sizing. Too many shirts (not Rohan) these days tend to be baggy at the waist.
Please continue with your sizing and add some stripes.
Men’s Newton Shirt
Shirt is a slim fit and this is what i wanted. Runs true to size for other slim fit Rohan products.
SIZING!!
I’ve got at least 15 Rohan shirts, polos and t shirts. Every single one of those is Large. I would say a Large in this shirt is at least one size, possibly two smaller than every other shirt I own. Something pretty badly wrong with the buying here.
Newtown Shirt L/S SS19, Twilight Blue Gingham, Medium
This size M is a much smaller fit than a Rohan size M shirt that I bought in Canterbury some time past. As Rohan did not warn of the size change on their website I am very disappointed as I do not at all like this tighter fit. The more so as I live in France and cannot benefit from the return policy. I expected a better mail order service from a reputable firm such as Rohan.
Great to wear
Have several Newtown shirts, and my latest purchase is just like the others. It is a very good fit on me, light, comfortable, and easy to wash, so excellent for travelling. Like the others, I have no doubt it will be a long lasting favourite summer shirt.
Sizing problem
You need to be aware that this is a much slimmer fit approx 4 inches at the waist smaller than normal medium size. I have been buying Rohan shirts for over 20 years and medium has always fitted perfectly as general and outdoor wear and now they have subtlety introduced this slimmer fit which so drastically smaller this shirt in no way fulfills what Rohan wear states it delivers. They should have made the change of size much clearer. Their staff do not seem to be aware. I have a Newtown shirt from a couple of years ago in the traditional size which is fine. So disappointing to be let down having been a loyal customer for many years
