Full details

The Seasalt Isla Shirt is designed for women seeking a versatile, elevated casual top that transitions easily between work and leisure settings. Crafted from soft cotton with a woven self-check pattern, it offers a comfortable, semi-fitted silhouette that layers beautifully under jackets or sweaters.

FAQs

Is the Isla Shirt true to size?

The Isla Shirt is designed as a semi-fitted garment. If you prefer a looser, oversized look, some customers choose to size up.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

No, the shirt is made from woven cotton, which does not naturally stretch. The semi-fitted cut is designed to allow for natural movement.

Can I put this shirt in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry the shirt to prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the cotton weave.

What does 'woven self-check' mean?

This refers to the pattern being woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on top, which provides higher durability and texture.

Is the shirt suitable for summer weather?

Yes, the cotton construction is highly breathable, making it a great option for layering during transitional seasons or wearing alone in mild summer weather.

Troubleshooting

Wrinkling after washing

Gently shake out the garment while damp and hang on a high-quality hanger to air dry, which reduces the need for heavy ironing.

Stiff fabric feel

Use a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle to restore the soft hand-feel characteristic of high-quality cotton.

Button looseness

As with any buttoned shirt, check the security of the thread periodically; if a button feels loose, reinforce it with a needle and matching red thread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Isla Shirt is made from woven cotton, it is best to machine wash it on a cool cycle with similar colours. Avoid using bleach, which can compromise the vibrancy of the red checkered print. To maintain the shape of the gathered sleeves and the crispness of the collar, hang the shirt to dry immediately after washing. If necessary, use a cool iron to remove wrinkles, paying attention to the buttoned cuffs. Ensure you match the garment with appropriate undergarments, as light-coloured cottons can occasionally be slightly translucent depending on the layering choice.
