At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Warm weather travel and backpacking where a lightweight, easily packable shirt is essential for comfort.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This shirt features a casual fit, offering a generous and airy silhouette that prioritises comfort over a slim profile.
• The 3.5oz organic cotton is exceptionally lightweight, providing a soft drape that moves naturally with the body.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for the intended relaxed look, but if you prefer a more tailored fit, you may wish to size down.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle up to 30°C to preserve the organic cotton fibres and the dobby texture.
• Hang the shirt to dry naturally; the lightweight 3.5oz fabric is designed to dry rapidly without the need for a tumble dryer.
• Use a cool iron if necessary, though the textured nature of the dobby weave is naturally resistant to showing heavy creases.
• Wash with similar colours to maintain the integrity of the pigment and the recycled faux wood buttons.
• Avoid the use of bleach or harsh detergents which can compromise the softness of the natural organic cotton.

Our Kavu Castaway Shirt FAQs

1. What is a "Dobby" weave?
   It is a specialized weaving process that creates small, geometric patterns and a distinct texture in the fabric, which increases surface area for better breathability.

2. Is the organic cotton certified?
   Yes, Kavu uses 100% certified organic cotton, ensuring the material is grown without the use of harmful synthetic pesticides.

3. What is a "bias-cut" yoke?
   This means the fabric on the shoulders is cut diagonally to the grain, giving the shirt more natural stretch and freedom of movement.

4. Do the buttons look like real wood?
   They are high-quality recycled polyester buttons designed to mimic the aesthetic of wood while being more durable and machine-wash friendly.
