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. Wythe recreated this fabric with one of their partnering mills in Japan, where they often find themselves 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.
