Isles Linen Shirt

The Wills Isles Linen Shirt starts with a lightweight 5oz 100% linen fabric that’s garment-washed for lived-in softness, resulting in a shirt that feels dressed up yet well-loved. We turn to linen when temperatures rise because it’s been the go-to fabric in hot climates—from Ancient Egypt to Austin, Texas—for centuries. And for good reason: it wicks moisture and breathes better than silk, rayon, cotton, and especially polyester. So much so that we liken it to on-body air-conditioning. But it’s long-lasting, too. Even though linen is soft to the touch (and gets even softer with wear), it is incredibly tough because the natural fibers are long and thick. Instead of wearing out, it actually gets stronger every time you wash it. But that’s not the only reason you’ll keep our option. The Isles Linen Shirt wears in a timeless way—neither too baggy nor too tight, just as good-looking untucked as it is tucked in, and in a range of stylish colors and patterns. We recommend wearing it like your favorite Oxford, with a few buttons undone and the sleeves casually rolled, catching the last light of the day. The definitive warm-weather shirt that wears like an Oxford, but feels like a vacation
