Carmel Slate Cotton and Tencel Blend Pique Fabric

$135

Design A Shirt

A soft and stretchy piqué with a classic polo texture.

This 30s single-ply piqué is knitted from a smooth blend of cotton, Refibra™, and premium elastane into a fabric with the texture of a classic polo and superior performance. Refibra™ is a special material made from a combination of recycled cotton and wood pulp fibers. We’ve blended it with elastane for extra give and recycled polyester for better wrinkle resistance and strength, and the result is a fabric that feels like cotton and has the moisture-wicking performance of Tencel™. With 360-degree stretch and an open, breathable structure, this fabric is a comfortable and versatile choice for any day of the week. We love the muted quality of this slate; it’s a beautiful alternative to navy or grey.

Recommended Styling: Our Soft English Spread collar and One Button or Two Button Polo front make a great long or short sleeve sport shirt, while our Soft President Spread collar, no placket, and Soft Long One Button cuff is a more polished option. Mother of Pearl buttons add a luxe touch.
