MILTON TOP
The Et Al Milton Top (EM16-1101PC) is a men's long-sleeve crew-neck top made from 100% cotton, constructed with a double-layer draped front and a self-fabric tie that overlaps the front panels. It is an open-front layering piece worn over a shirt or T-shirt, with cascading asymmetrical front panels, slim long sleeves with hemmed cuffs, and a relaxed body that falls past the hip with a slightly longer curved back hem and short side opening. Care instructions specify gentle cold hand wash; the top is designed and made in Melbourne, Australia, is offered in black at $259, and carries no visible logos, prints, or hardware.

Product Insights
The Milton Top is ET AL's signature house code—a men's style with a drape front by Anthony Capon, a Project Runway Australia winner, cut and sewn in Melbourne. Its self-fabric tie cinches for a defined waist or drapes open for a relaxed line, while the double-layer 100% cotton front stays opaque and fluid. The core tradeoff is styling: it's best worn untucked, as a full tuck bunches the layered front; care also requires cold washing and flat-drying to prevent shrinkage or stretching, and the deep black can bleed initially. Priced at $259 as the brand's priciest top, it sizes from a 36-inch chest (size 1) up to 46 inches (size 6) in two-inch increments.
Verified claims
- Design lineage
- Drape front is by Anthony Capon, Project Runway Australia Season 2 winner and two-time Melbourne Cup Design Award recipient.
- Brand signature
- Tie-front drape is ET AL's house code: relaxed tailoring with soft drapery.
- Brand heritage
- Milton Top is a men's style; ET AL's menswear launched in 2013 from a label founded in 1987.
- Value
- $259 is ET AL's priciest top, $10 over the Milos Top and $90 over the entry Long Sleeve Crew.
- Adjustable tie
- Self-fabric tie cinches for a defined waist or drapes open for a relaxed silhouette.
- Coverage
- Double-layer front stays opaque; the back is single-layer and also opaque.
- Tucking
- Wear untucked; a full tuck bunches the layered front, a loose front tuck sits cleanly.
- Care
- Wash cold and flat-dry reshaped — heat shrinks the cotton, hanging wet stretches it
- Size chart
- Size 1 fits a 36-in chest and each size adds 2 in; sizes 1-6 map to Euro 46-56.
- Fabric hand
- Double-layer 100% cotton is opaque, soft, fluid and matte; the back stays single-layer.
- Design intent
- The double-layer drape front is ET AL's house design code, not a construction shortcut.
- Production location
- Cut and sewn in Melbourne, not just designed there.
- Design heritage
- Design by Anthony Capon, Project Runway AU winner, at a label founded in 1987.
- Gender
- Men's style; the women's label in the product feed is a data-entry error.
- Size grading
- Size 1 fits a 36-inch chest and each size adds two inches, so size 6 fits a 46-inch chest.
- Dye release
- Deep black cotton can bleed dye in early washes — wash cold and with like colors
- Tie construction
- Self-fabric tie is permanent — removing it cuts the stitching and visibly damages the drape
- Positioning
- Cut for men as ET AL's signature of relaxed tailoring with soft drapery.
- Styling
- Best worn untucked — a full tuck bunches the double-layer front and adds bulk.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Milton Top: Choose this for a long-sleeve, open-front layering top with a crew neck: its 100% cotton body carries a double-layer draped front with a self-fabric tie, asymmetrical waterfall-style panels that fall well below the waist, front hip pockets, and a loose, relaxed fit with a soft, matte drape. It is shown in black, styled in the imagery over a separate crew-neck layer, and is designed and made in Melbourne. Note that the stated care is a gentle cold hand wash.[1,2,3,4] | Tyson Crew Or: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve crew-neck top with a diagonal raw hem and side splits, made from a cotton/spandex knit and designed and made in Melbourne. The listing shows Black, with Navy and White also listed as colour options. Note that care calls for a gentle cold hand wash, with dry cleaning (P) as an alternative.[5] | Branson Layer Shirt Wl: Choose this if you want the non-patterned version, which ET AL's blog notes is offered in Black. This long-line, loose 100% linen shirt has wrap-around double-layer panels with a waist tie, an additional tie for alternative styling, an asymmetric curved hem, buttoned long sleeves, and side-seam insert pockets. Note that the lightweight fabric appears semi-sheer in the lower panels and the care instruction is dry clean only (P).[6,7,8,9,10] |
