Positano Faded Blue Plaid Italian Linen Fabric

$160

A soft plaid linen with a beautiful, rustic texture.

This lightweight 15s single-ply plain weave is woven from 100% linen that features a satisfyingly pronounced texture. The irregularity of the texture gives the tonal slate plaid pattern a wonderful lived-in look, especially when it’s left to look comfortably rumpled. Though it’s historically been used in many different environments for its insulating properties, we’re all familiar with linen’s fantastic lightness and breathability in hotter climates, and this one is a great option for more casual looks. Pair it with shorts or chinos and espadrilles on steamy summer days.

Recommended Styling: Our Soft President Spread collar, no placket, and Standard buttons make a versatile combination.

“I heavier linen that could be worn in cooler months.”

“Beautiful linen”

November 2023 · Henry in WASHINGTON, DC
“This is a winter fabric (SoCal) but overall it's very nice.”

November 2023 · John in FULLERTON, CA
“Really nice fade creates a nice differentiated color from other blues in my wardrobe along with the subtle plaid. Material is less soft than other linens I’ve gotten, so waiting for it to improve with a few more washes. PC’s cut was. little more generous than expected for this fabric , probably to account for shrinkage, but probably a bit too much.”

October 2023 · Jonathan in Somerville, MA
“It's a bit stiff and scratchy.”

October 2023 · Alexander in Bushwick, NY
“Super comfortable”

October 2023 · Didier in Coconut Grove, FL
“Thicker weave and heavier-weight linen material than I had expected. Pattern does not pop in real life like it does in the online images, so shirt looks more subdued than I had imagined. Not recommended.”

September 2023 · Andrew in New York, NY
“It's a lot heavier than I expected - but that's not necessarily bad but just a change from the summer linen I've been wearing.”

September 2023 · John in West Bethesda, MD
“Was rough when it arrived but softened after first wash and is very comfortable to wear (airy, and soft - after first wash)”

“Material is amazing. Perfect summer button down.”

“The plaid pattern was slightly smaller than expected but it's great anyway! The fabric is a little stiff straight from the washer but softens in use. The fit has still a little room for shrinkage after two washes.”
