Amalfi Light Blue Bengal Stripe Pique Fabric

$140 $95

Description

Fabric Description

A totally unique quality 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. These timeless light blue and white Bengal stripes—typically seen on business shirts—give a fun twist to this relaxed casual fabric.

Recommended Styling: Stick with soft details. Try our Soft Roma Cutaway collar, no placket, and Soft Long One Button cuffs for a sprezzy shirt you can easily dress up or down.

    May 2021  ·  John in Hopatcong, NJ

  • Very swank.

    April 2021  ·  Mark in Delray Beach, FL

  • This is a really nice summer fabric. The pictures don't do it justice.

    March 2021  ·  Robert in Chalfont, PA

  • Thicker fabric but breathes well. I live in Los Angeles and I can definitely wear it on a hot day with no issue.

    February 2021  ·  Mark in LONG BEACH, CA

  • Great for the summer months.

    December 2020  ·  Aaron in London, Ontario

  • Good, sturdy cloth.

    December 2020  ·  Elliott in Harrogate, North Yorkshire

  • It's a nice shirt, but as the fabric is heavier, I would recommend wearing it on cooler days. The fabric tends to show wrinkles easily, and the points of the collar bend easily, making it look awkward.

    September 2020  ·  James in Gig Harbor, WA

  • The light blue stripe pattern matched exactly to the photos on the website. I love how light this fabric feels! It's great for a smart looking, casual summer shirt.

    August 2020  ·  Dashiel in CHICAGO, IL

  • Very very nice fabric. Excellent drape. Reminds me of a knitted polo type of fabric. Highly recommend this one. Looking to acquire the others as well.

    August 2020  ·  Kweku in YONKERS, NY

  • Another great fabric for summer

    July 2020  ·  Christopher in South Fremantle, Western Australia

  • Great

    July 2020  ·  Alex in BALTIMORE, MD

    July 2020  ·  Will in Brooklyn, NY

  • Nice fabric that offers a different texture that sets it apart from most shirts

    July 2020  ·  Chris in Orlando, FL

  • Terrific shirt!

    July 2020  ·  Samuel in PHILADELPHIA, PA

  • Have 3 Amalfi shirts, works great in short or long sleeve. Unique fabric, soft and comfortable and doesn't shrink much, more on casual side and great for summer, the outside texture is interesting. Especially good at sale prices but reasonable at full price. This blue and white stripe is particularly versatile, some of the other Amalfis are specialty colors.

    July 2020  ·  Darren in Blue Mound, TX

  • Great texture and drape. The fabric is a little heavy for summer, but will be perfect for the other three seasons.

    July 2020  ·  Kevin in DENVER, CO

  • Very smooth and light. First time with a pique and very happy with it.

    July 2020  ·  Lorenzo in Round Lake, IL

  • Its different but I like that about it still light enough for summer wear and comfortable

    July 2020  ·  Charles in Bayonne, NJ

  • This is a much heavier and less formal fabric than it came across on the website. It is not one I could reasonably wear at the office.

    July 2020  ·  Andrew in Toronto, ON

  • I love the signature bengal stripes. That right balance of elegance and casual.

    July 2020  ·  Anthony in AUSTIN, TX

    January 2020  ·  John in Franklin, TN

  • Really wide pin stripe (guess it’s not pin). Feels amazing on.

    January 2020  ·  Richard in Gig Harbor, WA

    January 2020  ·  frank in SANTA FE, NM

  • Blue stripes stand out more and more vivid than in the images

    November 2019  ·  Maurice in LOS ANGELES, CA

  • Comfortable both when it is very warm (a bit less breathable than linen) and when it gets cooler (a lot warmer than linen). A little bit irregular which gives a classy casual look.

    November 2019  ·  Julien in Zurich, Zurich

  • Great summer shirt

    October 2019  ·  Neil in Wall Street, NY

  • Love it

    October 2019  ·  Simon in Mountain View, CA

  • Great value when priced with competitors

    October 2019  ·  Robert in Leawood, KS

  • Fabric is well below the quality I would have expected for price. Extremely disappointed. It is quite strange. I have worn the shirt four or five times, and hence it has been laundered a handful of times. The fabric seems to be like a cotton ball, where the fibers start to stand out of the surface of the cloth. It is not fraying or stretching - it is simply fine fibers which are separating. The fabric is just not smooth. Difficult to describe. But it just gives the fabric a very cheap look. Same goes for the collars. Not well constructed on this shirt, one of them bends over; very frustrating. Just a terrible experience with this shirt.

    October 2019  ·  Narinder in Chadds Ford, PA

  • Great fabric!

    October 2019  ·  Edwin in Nashville, TN

  • Colorful and breathable fabric that wears wonderfully during the summer months.
