Gitman often reach for tried and true cotton/linen blends for their summer shirting, but this is the first time they ever incorporated ramie fibers into one of their fabrics. Like linen, ramie is a fiber derived from the stalks of plants. Each fiber is around 5-6 inches long, more than twice as long as the longest cotton fiber available, but on par with the longest linen fibers. Ultimately, this means ramie is both incredibly soft and durable.
For this special fabric, we've opted for a special silhouette in the way of a popover option. With this fabric and the easy going banded collar/four-button placket, this shirt is ready for your next lawn party or beach excursion.
