Portuguese Faded Blue Organic Cotton and Linen Blend Fabric

$130

A breathable three-season chambray from Portugal.

This 80% cotton/20% linen blend gives a bit of extra texture and breathability to the classic chambray. The gentle slub of the linen gives the soft organic cotton a more interesting finish, enhancing the chambray weave, and variations in the faded blue color emphasize the texture even more. This fabric leans more toward the casual side of things, but don’t hesitate to dress it up a little. It works just as well as a lightweight overshirt with a t-shirt as it does tucked into linen trousers.

Recommended Styling: For a casual look, try our Colorado Button Down collar, Angled pocket, Soft Long One Button cuff, and Roma buttons. Go with our Soft President Spread collar, no placket, and Mother of Pearl buttons for something you can dress up a little more easily.

“This is a very interesting cotton and linen blend with a lot of visual interest and texture from the slub. It has the chambray vibe with a twist. Would wear casually.”

March 2024 · Howard in Westport, CT
“Fabric looks just as shown on the website. I tad heavier/stiffer than I was expecting. Terrific casual shirt material.”

February 2024 · Tom in Peachtree City, GA
“This fabric is amazing. Nice texture, classic look. Light enough for summer wear and is wrinkle resistant. I had a few of these shirts made up for an upcoming trip to Asia.”

February 2024 · Jason in Danville, CA
“fabric is medium weight in my perception... Was thinking this would be more of a summer-weight shirt but it seems to be more of a 4-season weight. Not a bad thing, just wouldn't be my go-to for sweltering heat.”

“I prefer to wear organic cotton. This is nice fabric, it can easily be a dress shirt or a work shirt. It is a nice weight not too light or heavy and the linen in it makes it more cool. Looks great on. Maybe my favorite fabric I've found.”
