Grandi and Rubinelli Washed Seafoam Horizontal Stripe Linen Fabric

~~$140~~ $100

A fine cotton and linen blend with a fun stripe from Grandi & Rubinelli.

This airy 50s single-ply cotton and linen blend is a particularly light and soft one. The combination of the dobby weave and the linen’s slight irregularity gives it subtle texture, while the premium cotton adds wonderful softness. Keep in mind that linen’s wrinkle-prone nature is part of its charm; don't worry about pressing it—just let it look well-worn and relaxed. The elusive horizontal stripe makes an appearance here in thin lines of seafoam green alternating with sky blue threads in the weft of the bright white ground. It makes a subtle casual statement, and is equally at home on the beach and with chinos.

Recommended Styling: Go for soft details across the whole shirt. Our Soft President Spread collar, no placket, and Soft Long One Button cuff with Mother of Pearl buttons make a sleek combo, while a short sleeve shirt with our Camp collar is extra summery.

Casual Wash: Shirts cut in this fabric are washed after being sewn. This process gives the shirt a softer, broken-in feel with puckering around the seams.

May 2023 · Ryan in WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI
“Bought as an untucked casual shirt. Very unique fabric which looked just like pictured. Excellent for a casual shirt. Don't think I would like the fabric in an office setting.”

“”

March 2023 · Corey in ROCHESTER, MN
“Beautiful fabric—it looks like someone "drew" the thin blue lines across. Very classy and casual at once. I had this made for a short-sleeved shirt and it's really great as an elevated short-sleeve style. Quality feel to the fabric, but it is a little rough like most linen, so be aware of that.”

“Soft fabric with a tropical breezy look/feel. I'm a big fan.”

“It seems a little cheap and thin, worried about how it will fare after several washings.”

May 2022 · Erik in Cape Elizabeth, ME
“One of my favorite laid-back summer shirts now. I got a soft spread collar and no placket and the drape is so relaxed looking, in the best way. I rarely get shirt compliments, but this has had two. It definitely has a green stripe in there though, so beware.”
