Albini Navy and Blue Cotton Linen Dobby Fabric

$160

A breathable summer fabric with a unique embroidered pattern.

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 blue chevron pattern with the navy ground is a fun way to make a casual summer statement without getting too loud.

Recommended Styling: 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.
