Reda Blue Gingham Merino and Lyocell Fabric

~~$195~~ $125

Silky smoothness, astonishing performance, and greater sustainability.

The newest addition to our popular merino wool collection is blended with lyocell to create a very special versatile fabric. Lyocell is highly absorbent, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable throughout full days of wear, and it contributes to an even silkier, smoother finish and a beautifully flowing drape. It’s also a sustainable material, as it’s made from wood pulp and is biodegradable. This fabric maintains merino’s wrinkle and odor resistance, resilience, and amazing temperature regulation properties as well. Woven by the wool masters at Reda, this 85s two-ply plain weave has a silky finish, very little shine, and is completely devoid of texture. In this versatile shade of light blue you can go easily from a suit and tie to chinos and sneakers. Learn more about our Merino Wool Shirts here.

Recommended Styling: Try it with our President Spread collar for a dressier looking shirt, or one of our soft collars, like our Soft English Spread, for a casual vibe. Either way, go with Mother of Pearl buttons and no placket.

“I particularly like the Merino and Lyocell combination. It drapes and flows a bit more like cotton, but has the benefits of wool. I hope Proper Cloth expands the options for this fabric.”
