From the brand: We may not like to make one-to-one reproductions of vintage garments, but we're big fans of bringing old fabrics back to life. Meet Aertex - originally marketed as the world's first performance fabric, developed for the British Military back during WWII. The open weave airiness paired with the innate structure of the fabric makes this an easy choice for a warm-weather shirt - it's essentially a woven cotton mesh. We recreated this fabric with one of our partnering mills in Japan, where we often find ourselves looking if we are trying to revive old military cloth. A half zip shirt felt like the only suitable option for this fabric. This is one of those shirts that, while you  can zip it up all the way, you really never  should . We know one thing - we're gonna be wearing this thing fully opened all summer long.  Acorn chest pockets Button cuff Mitered placket Gusseted side seams YKK zipper 100% Cotton, woven in Japan Made in Portugal S M L XL XXL CHEST 21.5 23 24.25 25 27 BACK LENGTH 30 31.5 32 33 34 SHOULDER WIDTH 17 17.5 18 19 20.5 SLEEVE LENGTH 32.5 33.5 34.5 35 35
