Folk Relaxed Fit Shirt

The Folk Relaxed Fit Shirt in Blue Bubble Seersucker is an essential warm-weather piece that uses a specialised "bubble" weave to keep you cool in high temperatures. This unique puckered texture naturally holds the fabric away from your skin, significantly increasing airflow and preventing the discomfort of damp, clinging material. Cut with a generous, airy silhouette and crafted in Portugal, this shirt offers a sophisticated look that doesn't compromise on physical comfort during humid summer days.

Key Features

• Crafted from 100% cotton with a puckered seersucker texture that naturally increases ventilation and reduces skin contact
• Features premium, sustainably sourced corozo buttons made in Italy on the front placket, collar, and cuffs
• Designed with a classic button-down collar to ensure a tidy, consistent look whether worn open or fully fastened
• Includes a single, expertly stitched spade-shaped pocket on the left-hand side for a clean, utilitarian aesthetic
• Equipped with a self-fabric locker loop at the back yoke for easy hanging and traditional detailing
• Pre-washed for a softer, broken-in feel and to ensure the Blue Bubble texture remains consistent over time

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Transitional piece that shifts easily between smarter settings, when paired with a crisp trouser, and more casual environments when worn open over a t-shirt
• The loose, relaxed fit offers a contemporary silhouette that is polished enough for professional office spaces yet comfortable enough for laid-back weekend use
• The naturally wrinkled texture of seersucker means it requires minimal ironing, making it a primary choice for packing and warm-weather transit

Style, Fit & Sizing

• Intentionally cut loosely through the body and sleeves to provide a relaxed, airy feel without feeling oversized
• We recommend selecting your standard size to achieve the intended relaxed silhouette
• The generous cut and lightweight 100% cotton fabric allow for freedom of movement

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a cold cycle to protect the delicate bubble seersucker texture and the richness of the blue pigment
• Hang to dry naturally and keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading or becoming brittle
• Do not tumble dry, as the heat can flatten the seersucker texture and cause unnecessary shrinkage
• If required, use a medium heat to iron, but avoid over-pressing to maintain the natural puckered character of the fabric

Folk Relaxed Fit Shirt in Blue Bubble Seersucker - Our FAQs

1. What is the benefit of seersucker fabric?
   The "bubble" or puckered texture of seersucker creates a gap between the fabric and your skin, which significantly improves airflow and keeps you cooler than standard flat cotton.

2. Does this shirt need frequent ironing?
   One of the best features of seersucker is its natural texture, which hides creases effectively. It is designed to be worn with its characteristic bubble look, making it very low-maintenance.

3. Is the "Relaxed Fit" very large?
   It is designed to be roomy and comfortable rather than slim, but it still maintains a tailored shoulder and collar to ensure it looks smart.
