Garçon Classic Shirt In Eyelet Linen

From J Crew

 

I like the brown, it's really unusual to see a Summer linen top in brown. And I like the eyelet pattern on this shirt. It's on sale for $88.50.'

 

I'm shopping from my closet these days and I don't pay that much for shirts, I just think it's pretty. It's 100 percent linen too, that's too wrinkly for me. Also available in white.

That shirt is gorgeous; I would wear the brown with light colored jeans and the lemon with indigo.  But I am also linen-phobic these days.

I like that shirt too.  Very nice and different.

Normally, I don't like brown or earth colors at all, ever. But that brown reads as having a cooler tone than most to me, so, I like it too. It feels richer than the yellow.

Re: Garçon Classic Shirt In Eyelet Linen

It's rare to see a brown long-sleeve shirt in any season.  I love both of these but not enough to pay that price and also not enough because of the 100% linen fabric content.

Love the shirt but J Crews sizing is all over the place, I ordered a medium last year in a dress and it swimming on me

@Greeneyedlady21   Now you're starting to freak me out!  😹.  Once again I bought this shirt in brown from JCrew!  Just like two previous things you posted--the white RL ss sweater and the RL southwest cardigan from a few months ago!   😹🩷

An "over 50" fashion blogger I follow featured this shirt in the brown shade and I was interested enough to check it out. Aside from the price, reviews say that the fabric is uncomfortable - heavy and stiff. And of course, it wrinkled. But it sure looks good, doesn't it.

I don't find it stiff or heavy at all but I really like linen.  Yes, it does wrinkle.

Re: Garçon Classic Shirt In Eyelet Linen

I love the shirt and absolutely love linen.  I have many linen items, including my bed sheets.

 

The more you wash and wear linen, the less it wrinkles.
