Fabric Description

An elegant dress shirt fabric with the incredible performance of premium polyester knit. This soft, lightweight 100% polyester fabric is wrinkle-resistant, stretchy, and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. The bottom line? It looks just like a classic white dress shirt from afar, but its serious comfort and freshness mean it’s anything but. Dobby fabrics have a beautiful weave whose texture can vary widely in size and prominence, and this version’s texture is quite subtle and adds a bit of physical and visual depth to the vibrant white. The fabric’s special lightweight 56s single-ply structure has breathable substance that makes it perfect for year-round wear, and its brilliant solid white is an absolute business essential that’s great for everything from business casual to formal looks.

Recommended Styling: Go with our President Spread collar, no placket, and Long One Button cuff for a clean classic look.

  • This is sort of like a pyjama shirt. Immensely useful for covid - very comfortable, and looks like a real shirt over Zoom. I wouldn't wear it face to face, though.

  • Staple dress shirt with just the right amount of movement and character. Pleased with the purchase and plan to add more like it to rotation.

    December 2021  ·  Matthew in Plano, TX

  • Excellent staple.

    December 2021  ·  Joshua in Rice Lake, WI

  • A great white performance shirt that still works well in a business environment can be hard to find. This fabric does what you need it to. It's comfortable and breathable, but still has the appearance of a traditional shirt.

    September 2021  ·  Kyle in Ada, MI

  • Love the feeling of this shirt. Due to the stretch of this shirt would recommend adjusting your measurements a hair trimmer and to avoid soft collars and cuffs.

    September 2021  ·  Nathan in Highland Park, IL

  • Great underneath a sport coat.

    July 2021  ·  Ian in REDONDO BEACH, CA

  • Awesome fabric, will not wrinkle

    June 2021  ·  bernard in West Bradford, PA

  • Wonderful summer weight fabric. The get rid of any opacity concerns I ordered two pockets, so there is double fabric. Works great as a smart but informal dressy but casual shirt. I went collarless. Recommended.

    June 2021  ·  James in Dewey Beach, DE

  • This is a stretchy fabric that is pretty transparent and clings to one’s form.

    May 2021  ·  Gabe in CHICAGO, IL

  • Great

    April 2021  ·  Gary in New York, NY

  • First shirt I returned. Just didn't like the material.

    April 2021  ·  Ari in Novi, MI

  • The texture of this fabric is subtle enough to be unnoticeable from a short distance. That said, I would go with a broadcloth or twill for the most formal in-person meetings. I was disappointed that I had not caught that the fabric is synthetic before purchasing a shirt made of it. That said, the fabric works well for frequent Zoom meetings (no need for elaborate / costly wash and press with each wear). I also expect that when travel resumes, this will be a great business travel shirt due to easy care when one needs to pack light. In the end, it turns out that I had been looking for a professional-looking easy-care shirt from the inception of the pandemic but had never given thought to one made from synthetic fibers. A smart yet inadvertent purchase.

  • Probably my favorite fabric at Proper Cloth. This shirt is really classy and looks great as a stand alone. Really unique fabric and construction. Typically I like wearing performance under my suit but I find myself always coming back to this shirt to wear with no jacket and on it's own. Perfect amount of stretch and comfort and really nice fabric details.

    March 2021  ·  Jordan in Westwood, KS

  • For a performance fabric, it wrinkled more easily than I would prefer. My wife complained that the fabric caught on her rough hand, but it feels smooth to me.

    March 2021  ·  Jonathan in La Vernia, TX

  • so light, love it

    March 2021  ·  Ulf in Lauderdale By The Sea, FL

  • love it

    December 2020  ·  Abe in New York, NY

  • Very nice wearing and soft cloth. A bit more opaque than I would have expected though, but I created this as a suit and tie accompaniment and it works great

    November 2020  ·  Wilco in Haarlem, NH

  • Love the non-iron capability. Easy wash and hang to dry and looks perfect. Like the lightweight feel for warmer days.

    November 2020  ·  William in CARMEL, CA

  • This is an interesting fabric. It is a bit stretchy, soft, with a fairly heavily textured knit. This is a polyester shirt, and must be ironed VERY carefully. I ruined mine with a hot iron (ruined the iron too). Read the fabric care instructions carefully.

    October 2020  ·  Kirk in Vail, AZ

  • Fabric is good . But you have made mistakes in firing . It is tight. My heart is paining .

    October 2020  ·  parvez in ABU DHABI, ABU DHABI

  • Very nice white shirt. I was a little concerned about ironing, but this shirt looks great straight from the dryer.

    October 2020  ·  Thomas in CINCINNATI, OH

  • Was not a fan of this fabric at all. It's essentially a polyester dress shirt and not what I thought it would be. Fabric quality was great but was hoping for something much different.

    September 2020  ·  Cesare in Burnaby, BC

  • This is a polyester fabric, which I should have caught when I ordered as I prefer natural fabrics. But it turns out I’m happy with the fabric. It looks nice and wears well.

    September 2020  ·  Warren in MINNEAPOLIS, MN

  • This fabric looks like a technical tennis shirt. The pattern doesn't show at all in the fabric photos--so go look at the shirt images and you'll see the box weave really shows up. Not really suitable for a suit and tie. A comfortable technical fabric though.

    September 2020  ·  Ethan in AUSTIN, TX

  • Easy care

    September 2020  ·  Joseph in SCOTTSDALE, AZ

  • Perfect for work at home meetings.

    August 2020  ·  Stephen in Deerfield, IL

  • Fabric is nice and light. I would recommend for more casual shirts and great if you live in warmer climates. I got a long sleeve, but this fabric would also be great for a short sleeve Guayabera style shirt.

    August 2020  ·  Dane in West Hollywood, CA

  • I have to admit that I was wary when I saw this in the packet.... I wanted a white shirt that popped ! Took it out and wow - It popped ! Awesome super bright white and the material feels great - Perfect for summer. The fit is, as always, perfect so maybe I didn't gain the Quarantine 15 after all...

    August 2020  ·  Richard in Pagosa Springs, CO

  • Great for summer.

    August 2020  ·  Austin in ALBUQUERQUE, NM

  • Same as my review for the white performance knit herringbone, although this weave is a little cooler.

    August 2020  ·  Jeffrey in WASHINGTON, DC

  • This is a nice variation in texture from all of the other white shirts I own - it is comfortable and distinct.

    August 2020  ·  Timothy in La Canada Flintridge, CA

  • This is a beautiful fabric. Very light and comfortable for summer evenings.

    August 2020  ·  David in Hinsdale, IL

    July 2020  ·  Ryan in Brooklyn, NY

    July 2020  ·  Sarat in SUGAR LAND, TX

  • More transparent and light than I was expecting.

    July 2020  ·  Brendan in Washington, DC

  • It is very difficult to see the weave from this picture.

    July 2020  ·  Marc in AUSTIN, TX

  • Great weight

    July 2020  ·  Adam in Westminster, CO

  • Good appearance. Little more texture than expected. Haven’t gotten wear it yet.

    July 2020  ·  Christian in Coeur D Alene, ID

  • Excellent shirt and quality

    July 2020  ·  Nadeem in Roslyn Heights, NY

  • Great performance fabric. A little bit of a "polyester type" feel but very airy. White is a bit translucent but I really like the nuances of the dobby knit.

    July 2020  ·  Paul in CONROE, TX

  • great shirt

    July 2020  ·  Osama in Bulverde, TX

    July 2020  ·  Daniel Marcus in CHARLOTTE, NC

  • Great feel and drape. Very comfortable dress shirt. Slightly see through as indicated in the fabric description.

    July 2020  ·  Daniel in Edina, MN

  • Very interesting fabric has good stretch to it. So it's perfect for those summer months. Update: Shirt has not shrunk sleeves wise as much as I'd like. But do not be deterred as this is an excellent fabric.

    July 2020  ·  Kwabena in YONKERS, NY

  • Great shirt....very flexible fabric that makes wearing comfortable

    July 2020  ·  David in Hillsborough, NC

  • Great fabric and good for when you will be wearing a dress shirt to a summer event.

    June 2020  ·  Andrew in Englewood, CO

  • Seems nice so far. Some substance, but not too heavy.
