Fabric Description

We’ve been looking for the perfect tencel fabric to bring to Proper Cloth and finally found it at one of our favorite Italian mills, Albini. Tencel is an eco-friendly fiber that comes from wood pulp with some incredible performance characteristics. It's more absorbent than cotton and softer than silk. Tencel uses 80% less water than cotton and need 1/5th the amount of land to grow the same amount of fibers. Tencel™ fibers are certified by the European eco-label Oeko Tex 100 as containing low levels of manufacturing chemicals and byproducts.

Tencel drapes similar to silk and rayon, while being easier to care for than either fabric as it’s machine washable and naturally wrinkle resistant. Another characteristic of tencel that we love is that it can be easily dyed and that it takes color beautifully. We think this is apparent in this stunning slate blue melange. The subtle color variation makes for a refined solid that's easy to pair with anything from your wardrobe. Due to the silkier drape and feel of tencel, we recommend going with soft details all around for an easy-going shirt you won’t want to take off.

  • Tencel are a nice alternative choice, at full price would opt for Merino Wool for just a little more though. Need tencel in some more colors/patterns.

    May 2020  ·  Aaron in E Windsor, NJ

    December 2019  ·  Jeff in Bryn Mawr, PA

  • Feels and looks high quality

    October 2019  ·  Kevin in Long Island City, NY

  • A very soft fabric, great for unstructured casual shirts.

    October 2019  ·  Jason in CHICAGO, IL

  • This shirt is a mixed bag: the fabric is certainly very soft and comfortable, but it wrinkles very easily. It is difficult to remove wrinkles even when ironing. The slate color is also not color-fast: after one spot clean with only water (no detergent), the color saturation faded in that area. The slate melange color also has quite a few white flecks running throughout, which detract from overall appearance of the shirt. Overall, I can't recommend this fabric, especially when compared to the merino wool fabric which is significantly higher quality, while offering the same performance qualities.

    September 2019  ·  Daniel in San Francisco, CA

  • Super soft and comfortable.

    September 2019  ·  michael in New York, NY
