Minetta Navy Airtex Fabric

Description

Fabric Description

One of our most unique, performance-driven fabrics. Whether you call it Airtex, Cellulare, or Giro Inglese, the great characteristics of this breathable fabric stay the same. It's made with a very open, diamond-shaped weave that makes it incredibly comfortable in hot weather. With an 80s 2-ply construction it's durable and soft rather than silky, and the more it's worn and washed the softer it'll become, too. If you’re concerned about opacity, this fabric isn’t for you, but if you love an open weave and interesting texture, step right up.

Recommended Styling: You'll want a soft collar, cuff, and placket on this one. Our Soft Franklin Spread collar, no placket, and Long One Button cuff is a minimal combo that lets the fabric shine.

  • I could not currently find this fabric which is too bad because it made for a nice casual business shirt

    February 2022  ·  Derek in St Catharines, ON

  • Very uncomfortable

    July 2021  ·  Stephen in Kawasaki, Kanagawa

  • I am an Airtex fan. Reminds me of my school days. I wish you had more.

    June 2021  ·  Charles in Toronto, ON

  • This is my favorite shirt that I've purchased from proper cloth so far

    June 2021  ·  Nate in Santa Cruz, CA

  • A great summer shirt

    October 2020  ·  David in Kings Langley, Herts

  • Too loose

    August 2020  ·  Ron in Great Neck, NY

  • Excellent

    August 2020  ·  Thomas in Saratoga Springs, NY

  • wears very rough -- probably would not recommend

    July 2020  ·  William in Denver, CO

  • I’m wearing this very shirt as I write this. Today I’ve been skeet shooting and am about to saddle up for a morning ride. This shirting fabric is comfortable, breaths well and lays well.

    June 2020  ·  JP in Newport Beach, CA

  • Feels like a linen, but more functional.

    April 2020  ·  Bill in Apache Junction, AZ

  • Beautiful color.

    April 2020  ·  Phan in Bellaire, TX

  • Not as thick as other cellulare fabric. Others have larger air spaces in the weave. A good fabric, not as good as it could be. When right, cellulare is a summer workhorse

    April 2020  ·  Brad in ATLANTA, GA

  • Great fabric with a large, open weave. This was suggested as a casual or, maybe, business casual material. But, I had it made into a business shirt. Love it. Very unique fabric that is a great look under a light grey suit.

    March 2020  ·  Joel in Franklin, WI

  • Cool texture that gets a lot of comments. Regret not ordering with soft features.

    February 2020  ·  Sean in New York, NY

  • Great soft lightweight fabric, much more of a summer fabric.

    January 2020  ·  Jay in BOCA RATON, FL

  • Wrinkles too easily.

    December 2019  ·  Brian in Toronto, ON

  • The fabric is very soft and comfortable. The airtex will keep me cool and breathe.

    October 2019  ·  James in Highlands, CO

  • Great shirt.... goes well with all my stuff!

    September 2019  ·  Clayton in Salem, MA

  • Really stiff, didn't feel good.

    September 2019  ·  David in Hingham, MA

  • Nice airy fabric, great alternative to linin in the summer

    September 2019  ·  Sean in DAVIS, CA

  • Glossy appearance. Was expecting something more subtle. Picks up light significantly. Pattern is more pronounced than it seems.

    August 2019  ·  alex in North Caldwell, NJ

  • Expected it to be softer but I think that will change after a wash. Interesting fabric that will be my go to on hot evenings

    August 2019  ·  Shane in Pikesville, MD

  • I like that it is light, opaque, and hangs well

    August 2019  ·  Terence in Los Angeles, CA

  • The Navy Airtext design looks amazing! But the shirt doesn't feel as soft as you would expect. Light material.

    July 2019  ·  Roneil in Winter Garden, FL

  • The perfect Summer shirt

    July 2019  ·  Christopher in Annapolis, MD

  • Great color and ventilation. I use it for my active job in the summer. This fabric is not the most comfortable fabric against your skin, but still a great hot weather option.

    July 2019  ·  Sam in Brooklyn, NY

  • Interesting feel at first, but you get used to it. Great with a camp collar.

    July 2019  ·  Robert in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

  • A little crunchy when hung to air dry, but I'm enjoying how unique it is.

    June 2019  ·  Reg in Whitesboro, NY

  • I liked the fabric, a little heavier than expected. However, after a few trips to the cleaners, the fabric started to show age. Looking to try out another fabric in this same color family.

    June 2019  ·  Lane in Adamsville, AL

  • I was worried this fabric would be transparent, but it is not. Looks great! Online description is spot on. Would buy again.

    May 2019  ·  Erik in Charlotte, NC

  • A summer ideal. The air blows right through this fabric. But careful: this is not soft.

    May 2019  ·  Eugenio in London, England

  • Great summer shirt. Rich color and very comfortable.

    May 2019  ·  basit in oakville, ON

  • My wife calls this "the paper shirt" It kind of feels like paper... but it is still brand new. I bet as it gets worn it will break in real nice. My hope is that this will be a nice long sleeve shirt for summer wear. Time will tell I guess.

    May 2019  ·  John in Perrysburg, OH

  • I had no issues with transparency or roughness of fabric. It feels soft against the skin, very breathable, and doesn't need to be ironed. I'm quite likely to purchase the white version as well.

    May 2019  ·  Raymond in HUMACAO, PR

  • A very unique fabric, sort of a like a jersey fabric with a stiffer drape to it. I got it in a pop-over style, very nice!

    April 2019  ·  Andrew in HATTIESBURG, MS

  • Launders nicely and breaths extremely well.

    April 2019  ·  James in Atlanta, GA

  • Great for hot day. Cool fabric.

    April 2019  ·  David in GREENVILLE, SC

  • Love it!

    April 2019  ·  Gene in Birmingham, MI

  • Light and airy, a perfect summer shirt!

    April 2019  ·  Devir in Woodmere, NY

  • This is quite an innovative fabric. It reminds me of a high quality version of the mesh material they use for high school sports jerseys. It's the most breathable shirt I've come across. And don't worry; this fabric is not see-through.

    March 2019  ·  Paul in Simpsonville, SC

  • Very unusual

    March 2019  ·  duncan in London, London

  • Really neat fabric. Sturdy yet breathable. Opaque against the skin, but you can see the cooling/venting nature of the fabric clearly when you hold it up to the light. Great for tropical wear.

    March 2019  ·  William in Arlington, VA

  • The breathability of this shirt is phenomenal.

    March 2019  ·  Dave in Washington, DC

  • This fabric is very light, yet it also has loads of structure. It's slowly but surely breaking in and becoming more comfortable and wearable with each wash.

    February 2019  ·  Brett in Kansas City, MO

  • Great casual fabric. A perfect alternative to a pique polo shirt. Very glad I bought two!

    February 2019  ·  Brian in Gerrards Cross,

  • Very comfortable, airy fabric but it's still sturdy. Not flimsy at all. Nice shade of navy that works well with business casual/denim jeans look.

    January 2019  ·  Daniel in Aberdeen, MD

  • The texture is awesome and gives a nice feel and look to a lovely dark blue.

    November 2018  ·  Michael in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • Happy I bought this shirt. The only slight downfall was the it has a heavy chemical order to it.

    November 2018  ·  Stephen in Weehawken, NJ

  • good feel and construct

    October 2018  ·  David in Woodside, CA

  • Thicker fabric than I expected for a summer fabric, but it's very breathable. The shirt wrinkles rather easily, and tends to be a little on the stiff side.

    October 2018  ·  Tony in Utica, NY
