• Ideal for holiday wear where you need a piece that is breathable enough for the sun but sharp enough for evening dinner.
• Perfect for wearing open over a white tank top to add a sophisticated graphic element to a simple outfit.
• A great option for those who appreciate global textile patterns and want an organic cotton alternative to standard printed shirts.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This shirt features a straight hem and a spacious cut through the body, providing the classic boxy profile associated with resort wear.
• Most users find the Ikat Shirt fits accurately. The 145GSM poplin offers more structure than the lighter 135GSM models, maintaining its shape well.
• We recommend taking your standard size. The flat hem is designed to sit level at the waist, making it ideal for wearing untucked.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a cool cycle to preserve the crisp white base and the integrity of the Ikat print.
• Avoid the tumble dryer. Air drying helps maintain the structure of the resort collar and prevents the organic cotton from shrinking.
• Poplin can develop minor creases; a warm iron will restore the smooth, premium finish of the fabric.
• Do not bleach - To protect the Ikat pattern and the natural cotton fibres, avoid using harsh whitening agents.

Service Works Ikat Shirt - Our FAQs

1. What is an "Ikat" print?
   Traditionally, Ikat is a dyeing technique where the yarns are tie-dyed before weaving to create "blurry" geometric patterns. This shirt uses a high-quality print to replicate that artisanal, global aesthetic on durable poplin.

2. Is the fabric see-through?
   No. At 145GSM, this poplin is dense enough to be fully opaque while still being light and breathable for hot weather.

3. Can I wear this for work?
   While it has a "Resort" collar, the structured poplin and sophisticated pattern make it a great option for creative or casual office environments.

4. Does it have a loop for the top button?
   Yes, the top button loop is a classic feature that allows you to close the neck fully if the weather turns or if you prefer a more "uniform" look.
