Ideal for warmer climates, this western-style shirt is made from a dobby loom woven 5oz selvedge cloth. Shuttle woven slowly and loosely, this lightweight fabric provides excellent ventilation with a soft, three-dimensional waffle-like texture. The origins of dobby cloth date back to the mid-1800s, and production methods have remained the same ever since. The technique involves attaching a piece of equipment known as a "dobby" to the loom, which is used to manipulate the yarns during weaving, creating subtle variations in the fabric’s texture. Indigo dyed to allow for fading through wear, this is a highly breathable shirt that brims with character.
