Fabric Info
Fabric Description
We love plaid linen shirts for summer, so we specially designed this fabric to get the pattern, scale, and colors just right. Linen has an airy, open weave that breathes incredibly well, and its naturally cool feel and ability to keep you dry make it a summer essential if there ever was one. This 21s single-ply fabric is incredibly lightweight and features that signature linen texture. Keep in mind that linen’s wrinkle-prone nature is part of its charm; don't worry about pressing it—just let it look well-worn and relaxed. The low-contrast tonal blue palette of this mid-scale plaid works with just about everything from jeans or shorts to chinos and a jacket.
Recommended Styling: Go for soft details across the whole shirt. Our Soft President Spread collar, Soft Front placket, and Soft Long One Button cuff make a great combo.
