Italian Navy Octopus Print Rayon Fabric

~~$150~~ $110

A fun and lightweight casual fabric for warm, sunny days.

Made from a sustainable viscose fabric called Ecovero, which is produced with 50% less water and carbon emissions. Rayon was the original popular Aloha shirt fabrics, and this is our newest take on the classic fabric. Its smoothness and breathability make this Ecovero fabric particularly comfortable option for warmer weather. This one has a 30s single-ply plain weave construction that creates a soft lightness that’s like a cross between cotton and silk against the skin, and it allows air to flow through much more easily than either of those materials. The illustrated Octopi undulate across a sea of navy, rendered with a hand-drawn technique that looks like batik. It’s a lighthearted print that’s sophisticated without taking itself too seriously. You can just as easily wear this with shorts as with a casual linen suit.

Recommended Styling: Whether you choose to design this as a long or short sleeve shirt, go for soft details all around. Our Camp collar is a great choice for an easygoing authentic Aloha look. Slate Horn buttons blend nicely into the fabric.

“This fabric is amazing. The feel and the look is extremely cool. I have it in long sleeve with a camp collar. I will wear it with shorts, loafers, and the sleeves rolled up to slightly elevate a very casual look. But I also wear it with a sport coat and trousers to dress down a more formal look.”
