FAQs

What makes the fabric 'fluid'?

The 'fluid' characteristic comes from the lyocell fiber's smooth surface and the weaving process, which allows the fabric to move and drape with a natural, flowing motion.

How is the guru collar different from a regular collar?

A guru collar, also known as a band collar or Mandarin collar, is a short, upright collar with no fold, offering a cleaner, more minimalist neckline.

Is this shirt suitable for professional settings?

While it has an elegant drape and a refined finish, its casual silhouette and unique collar make it best suited for smart-casual or creative professional environments rather than formal business settings.

Can I machine wash this shirt?

It is recommended to hand wash or use a delicate cycle on your machine with cold water and a mild detergent. Always check the care label for specific instructions.

What does 'washed lyocell' mean?

'Washed lyocell' indicates that the fabric has undergone a washing process after its initial creation, which often enhances its softness and gives it a slightly more relaxed feel and appearance.

How do I best care for the iridescent finish?

To preserve the iridescent finish, avoid harsh detergents, high heat during washing or drying, and excessive rubbing. Gentle care, as outlined in the care instructions, is key.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears dull after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. If the sheen is lost, a garment steamer on a low setting might help restore some luster.

Shirt is excessively wrinkled

Lyocell can wrinkle. Try a cool iron on the reverse side or use a garment steamer. Hanging the garment in a steamy bathroom can also help relax wrinkles.

Loss of shape after drying

Always air dry by laying flat on a towel, reshaping the garment while damp. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can distort the fibers.
