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.
