A relaxed everyday shirt in a washed cotton-linen blend: soft from new, cool in the heat, and meant to look a bit lived-in.
Linen blends crease within an hour of wearing. That is the look; if you want crisp, this is the wrong shirt.
Pick a size before adding it.
The shirt is washed after sewing, which softens the cloth and settles the shrinkage before it reaches you. The 30% linen adds a slightly dry, cool hand and some texture.
Regular fit on the men's pattern, one chest pocket, a soft collar without stiffening. It is meant to be worn untucked with the sleeves rolled.

The fabric weight on the page is exactly what turned up. I have stopped trusting photos and started trusting grams, and this shop gives you grams.
Second order. The size guide measurements were spot on, which sounds basic until you have returned three things elsewhere that were not.
Did exactly what the “worth knowing” note said it would. I would have preferred it not to, but I would much rather be told before I buy.
This piece is cut on the men’s pattern: regular, one chest pocket. Lay a top you like flat, measure across the chest, and compare.
