Fabric Description

A breathable summer fabric with a unique embroidered pattern of white pyramid shapes.

This 30s 2-ply cotton and linen blend dobby from the renowned Albini mill has an open weave that really brings out the linen’s iconic texture, and the mill’s special embroidery process creates a beautifully precise yet rustic-looking pattern across the fabric. Plus, the cotton in the blend helps reduce the wrinkly tendencies of the linen while allowing the fabric to maintain its naturally cool, breathable, easy-going feel. We find that our linen shirts only get better the more they're washed and worn, so you’re sure to love this one even more as time goes on. The combination of the white pyramid pattern with the natural beige ground is a fun way to make a casual summer statement without getting too loud.

Recommended Styling: Stick to soft details. Our Band collar offers a minimal and artistic casual look, while our Soft Franklin Spread collar has a more classic yet modern feel. Either way, we recommend going with no placket on this one.

  • A slight amount of stretch would be preferable.

    November 2022  ·  Alix in BETHESDA, MD

  • Decent quality fabric.

    October 2022  ·  Edward in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • Truly love the feel of the fabric- couldn't be happier!

    October 2022  ·  William in RICHMOND, VA

  • I like it a lot except I should measure my hand sleeve longer it’s a little short but I think they offer second time complimentary remake. It will be perfect fit the next time I’m sure.

    October 2022  ·  James in Spring, TX

  • Nice feel

    September 2022  ·  Patrick in Richland, WA

  • This light weight fabric is excellent. However, be prepared to iron it after each wash,

    September 2022  ·  Nick in JACKSONVILLE, FL

  • Find it really hard to match well with pants or shorts. Seems like it can go with white but not much else. Fabric was itchy.

    August 2022  ·  Ryan in VIRGINIA BEACH, VA

  • Airy and light, good summer fabric.

    August 2022  ·  Doyoung in Mexico City, CDMX

  • Great fabric and color.

    July 2022  ·  Lawrence in Oakton, VA

  • This is really nice fabric. It's definitely a browner beige. It's very lightweight without being transparent, which is nice. The fabric feels substantial but not heavy.

    July 2022  ·  Todd in New York, NY

  • I would consider this fabric a great value. I love the subtle pattern and it feels great on the body. It moves well and is very comfortable for hot spring/summer weather. You could even wear it into early fall due to the neutral color.

    July 2022  ·  Jae in NEW HAVEN, CT

  • Very nice fabric. PC markets this as a long sleeve, but from having a similar fabric shirt I knew it would be perfect for a short sleeve and it is. It also packs well with minimal wrinkles.

    July 2022  ·  Dave in Wilmette, IL

  • Nice for summer evenings.

    July 2022  ·  John in Guilford, CT

  • Very unique and attractive pattern. Fabric is very opaque. This fabric is exactly what I expected and wanted.

    July 2022  ·  James in DURHAM, NC

  • Great fabric. Perfect for warm days.

    July 2022  ·  Branden in Brooklyn, NY

  • Great pattern, very luxurious feeling for camp-style casual shirts.

    June 2022  ·  Scott in Los Angeles, CA

  • I really like this pattern. Up close, it almost has a Sashiko vibe to it. Very detailed fabric. A bit wrinkly, but it is made with linen so you have to expect that. I think it adds to the look of it. This will be a great hot summer look when paired with light colored pants. It also breathe’s very well.

    May 2022  ·  Fabian in Hobart, IN

  • shirt arrived smaller than what I ordered, returned (awaiting refund)

    May 2022  ·  Jonathan in Tallahassee, FL

  • I really like the embroidery on this fabric. It's not obvious from the pictures, but the pattern is stitched into the fabric. The tailors do an excellent job lining up the pattern, so the shirt looks very professionally done.

    July 2021  ·  Mark in Sheung Wan,

  • Comfortable fabric and a bit more breathable than similar fabrics I’ve tried

    June 2021  ·  rob in Solvang, CA

  • Love the pattern in person - great with a granddad collar and short sleeves for a summer shirt. A little stiff on the first wear with the higher linen content, but anticipating it will break in really nicely after a few wears and washes.

    June 2021  ·  Nathaniel in SAN DIEGO, CA

  • Beautiful pattern, and the linen is perfect for hot days.

    June 2021  ·  Noah in Portland, OR

    April 2021  ·  Calvin in Toronto, Toronto

  • The fabric is soft and the design is unique.

    April 2021  ·  Robert in Margate, FL

  • Perfect weight, texture, and airiness for blend. Can't recommend this and sister fabrics enough.

    April 2021  ·  Joshua in OAKLAND, CA

  • A bit thicker than I expected, but it's still a very nice fabric for summer wear

    April 2021  ·  YAT FAI in CHA KWO LING, Kowloon

  • It laundered as expected, with a nice, even, slight wrinkle that I find very agreeable for a loose casual summer shirt. It could be a touch softer.

    March 2021  ·  Dennis in Annapolis, MD

  • I bought a shirt in this fabric based on how much I loved the "Washed Light Blue and Yellow Cotton Linen Dobby" from Albini, which I ordered a while back. (That is a perfect summer shirt -- very soft and breathable.) The fabric here seems slightly stiffer, and I'm hoping it will shorten a bit with a few washings. The colors are perfect for me.

    March 2021  ·  Jerry in BROOKLYN, NY

  • More taupe than beige. Go-to shirt for cream cords or olive chinos, and dusty purple jacket, or tonal with tobacco linen suit.

    March 2021  ·  Mark in Vancouver, BC

  • Love the pattern on this shirt

    November 2020  ·  James in New York, NY

  • great sport shirt

    November 2020  ·  Michael in Hauula, HI

  • I am a fan of linen and though wool has to be the king of fabrics, linen is at least the crown-prince. So no surprise that I really like my shirt made from this blend of cotton and linen. Being also a fan of embroidery and hand-stitched details, I appreciate the design of the weave that makes the white ornament appear to be quite literally embroidered as if with a running stitch. This mix of simplicity and complexity is what makes fabrics interesting and worth of our utmost attention. And it goes without saying that wearing a shirt made from an interesting fabric is a great feeling by itself. On the down side, the khaki hue of the main body of this fabric is, I find, a bit too deep and too homogenous, making the fabric look almost formal or work-like. Less dye penetration with some variation in shading would make for a better, more relaxed effect. But this is only a minor observation. Overall, there is not much else you could ask for with this fabric and once again, I would like to see more colours and variations of the same basic idea on offer.

    October 2020  ·  George in Carlton, New South Wales

  • Great shirt - light and airy. The colour is very unique - definitely on the casual side. Feels pretty durable given the high amount of linen in it.
