Description

Fabric Description

From the Italian masters of cool, easygoing fabrics comes this super subtle tonal check. From a distance this 70s single-ply broadcloth reads almost like a solid navy blue, but when you get closer the pattern begins to emerge. The fabric is woven by Albiate in Italy in a smooth 70s single-ply plainweave. It’s a lightweight casual fabric, making it ideal for the upcoming spring and summer. Design this one with our versatile Soft President Spread collar, or the slightly shorter Soft Franklin Spread for a more contemporary, downtown look. Keep it casual with soft cuffs and a French front as well.

  • Too dark and discolored after a few washes

    April 2019  ·  Aquiba in BROOKLYN, NY

  • Not at the quality level of other PC shirts I've purchases. Wrinkles and holds lint. Not very soft.

    April 2019  ·  Bruno in San Francisco, CA

  • I like the pattern and color, but the fabric looks worn down after a couple of washes and the fabric gets shiny if you're not careful when ironing.

    October 2018  ·  Paul in Brooklyn, NY

  • Good shirt. Not my favorite of my PC fabrics but i like it for the price

    September 2018  ·  Mike in Sandy, UT

  • Great fabric all around.

    September 2018  ·  jourdan in PASADENA, CA

  • Lightweight, very nice

    May 2018  ·  Garrett in Brooklyn, NY

  • Great feel!

    March 2018  ·  Andy in Milton, MA

  • Pattern is a bit too subtle

    January 2018  ·  David in Chester, NJ

  • I really like this shirt, but it is a bit darker than I expected - I thought the blue would stand out a bit more. Still, it is a nice subtle pattern. Very comfortable shirt, and fabric stays cool.

    January 2018  ·  Kevin in Newtown, PA

  • The difference between black and navy is subtle. Its a relatively light fabric, and looks a bit "thicker" than it feels. It will work well on a summer night, as well as layered in the winter.

    January 2018  ·  Dallas in New York, NY

  • Love the subtle black on blue. Goes with so many things. Very light but maybe a little too thin so I'm worried how long it will last, but still one of my favorites.

    December 2017  ·  James in CHICAGO, IL

  • Wrinkles easily. Pattern is so subtle that it is virtually invisible

    December 2017  ·  Arthur in EASTON, PA

  • Great fabric; wish the design popped out a little more than it does from afar. Overall great shirt though.

    November 2017  ·  Joe in Winnetka, IL

  • A bit too fine, and hangs oddly

    September 2017  ·  Eddie in Brooklyn, NY

  • Subtle pattern.

    September 2017  ·  Brandon in Calgary, AB

  • Very comfy shirt, good value for the money. Looks great and can be dressed up or down.

    September 2017  ·  Jeff in Langley, BC

  • Beautiful fabric, very soft on the skin, very lightweight, great for the summer or any day if you run warm. Needs an iron after washing but worth the trouble.

    September 2017  ·  Louis in Seattle, WA

  • Very nice shirt!

    August 2017  ·  David in NEW YORK, NY

  • Really lovely and extremely subtle pattern. I like it, works with jeans or chinos. The fabric is thin, perfect for the warm months, but not cheap feeling at all.

    August 2017  ·  JOHN in Mobile, AL

  • Looks great!

    August 2017  ·  Michael in Wayzata, MN

  • Soft and unique

    August 2017  ·  STEVEN in Milwaukee, WI

  • Great summer shirt

    August 2017  ·  Adam in New York, NY

  • This fabric is comfortable, but a little stiffer and less comfortable than some of the other fabrics I've gotten from Proper Cloth. You can see through it pretty easily if you hold it up to light, but the color is far too dark for that to be a problem.

    August 2017  ·  Don in Austin, TX

  • it is a very nice shirt

    August 2017  ·  Leonard in Seattle, WA

  • Absolutely beautiful fabric.

    August 2017  ·  Devin in San Diego, CA

  • great shirt

    August 2017  ·  Matthew in Millersville, PA

  • Perfect for summer!

    July 2017  ·  Michael in Bronxville, NY

  • Nice shirt.

    June 2017  ·  dan in Laurel, MD

  • A decent color but high maintenance.

    June 2017  ·  Jesse in Dallas, TX

  • Love the subtlety of the navy and blue/black. Lightweight and perfect for a Florida summer shirt.

    June 2017  ·  Glenn in JACKSONVILLE, FL

  • Really subtle and light weight

    June 2017  ·  gary in liverpool, merseyside

  • Great summer going out shirt. Very light weight, black and blue tones are subtle and pairs well with dark jeans.

    June 2017  ·  Miguel in Chicago, IL

  • Very comfortable shirt. Appears to be darker than shown on the website. I've paired this a couple times with a light-color, light-weight summer suit for a cool look. Think seersucker or linen, light blue or beige.

    May 2017  ·  Robert in Moline, IL

  • Really nice lightweight, but soft and high-quality fabric. I really love it. Super classic.

    May 2017  ·  Josh in Darnestown, MD

  • It's light, but maintaining a nice texture. Good for either dress or casual situations.

    April 2017  ·  Dustin in Los Angeles, CA

  • Like many of the other reviews mention, the contrast between the Navy and the Black is very subtle. Hard to see unless you're up close and in good lighting. Much more subtle than pictured. Still like it, but one of the only fabrics that I've ordered from Proper Cloth than the pictures were not completely accurate. Very smooth, light feel. Great shirt.

    April 2017  ·  Christopher in Springfield, PA

  • I love it! Subtle contrast. Soft indoor lighting can almost make this pattern fade into a solid. To appreciate its true beauty, wear it outside. Sunlight makes it pop!!

    January 2017  ·  Tom in CHERRY HILL, NJ

  • Love the fabric and color. Can't wait to wear the shirt.

    January 2017  ·  Theo in New York, NY

  • Really nice deep color and hard to see the squares till up close (which i like). Fabric is average and it could get a little shine if ironed too much i feel.

    November 2016  ·  Ben in Perth, WA

  • Very subtle difference between the blue and black checks. You have to get pretty close to notice that it's not a dark navy shirt.

    August 2016  ·  Jeff in Brooklyn, NY

  • I would not consider this shirt wrinkle resistant at all. But the fabric is incredibly comfortable and breathable. Very comfortable on hot days even though it is very dark fabric. I will be getting it altered but I already know this is my favorite shirt right now.

    July 2016  ·  Ross in Parker, CO

  • barely discernable pattern
