Amalfi Beige and Taupe Stripe Pique Fabric

~~$160~~ $110

A unique and comfortable Italian fabric that looks and feels almost like a knit.

This piqué weave—woven just for us in Italy by the family-owned mill Grandi & Rubinelli—is what the Italians call “nido d’ape,” or “bee’s nest waffle.” It has a beautifully textured geometric structure that, along with its fine slub, subtle shine, and gentle drape, makes for a visually interesting and flattering shirt. A lightweight and breathable medium-weight 70s 2-ply fabric, it’s perfect for both a weekend at the beach and year-round wear. This tonal beige and taupe version features a great neutral stripe that gives the fabric extra interest. It’s a truly versatile essential that transitions easily between business casual and true casual wear. Try tucking it into linen trousers with espadrilles, or unbutton a couple of buttons, throw on some shorts, and hit the beach.

Recommended Styling: Stick with soft details. Try our Soft Roma Cutaway collar, no placket, and Soft Long One Button cuffs for a sprezzy and versatile shirt. Mother of Pearl buttons create an especially elevated look.

“Absolutely love this fabric and color - could be one of my favorite PC fabrics. Has a Cucinelli look and feel to it which would cost $1,000's more.”

“This fabric wears like a sturdy linen. The color pallette makes it match extremely well with other earthtones. I've paired it with a light beige linen jacket and a tan cotton suit to good effect. I've received more compliments on this shirt than any other.”
