Blue Cotton and Linen Melange Knit Fabric

$125

The perfect summer knit.

This 30s single-ply knit is an unbelievably soft and beautifully textured take on the timeless polo shirt fabric we all know and love. Crafted from a blend of 77% cotton and 23% linen, it’s naturally breathable, absorbent, cool to the touch, surprisingly stretchy—everything we could ask for in a warm-weather knit. This fabric has a tiny geometric open knit structure that adds to both its breathability and casual appeal. A luxe alternative to your sportier polo shirts, it has a definite relaxed-yet-refined vibe. The melange blue is dotted with what looks like delicate waves of slightly darker and lighter blue tones, almost like an abstract sea. It’s a beautiful alternative to a solid light blue polo in your weekend wardrobe.

Recommended Styling: We prefer it with soft details. Our Soft English Spread collar and One Button or Two Button Polo front make a great classic long or short sleeve polo shirt. A Camp collar is also a great option. Mother of Pearl buttons with play more to the luxe side of this fabric.
