Folk Relaxed Fit Shirt Blue Bubble Seersucker

The Folk Relaxed Fit Shirt in Blue Bubble Seersucker provides a sophisticated solution for those seeking a breathable, lightweight layer that maintains its structure in warm conditions. This garment addresses the discomfort of heavy fabrics by utilising a specialized seersucker weave, which features a natural "bubble" texture that sits away from the skin to promote airflow. Cut with a generous silhouette for an easy fit, this shirt combines high-quality Portuguese construction with functional details, making it an essential piece for year-round comfort and effortless layering.

Key Features

• Includes a single, expertly stitched spade-shaped pocket on the left-hand side for a clean, utilitarian aesthetic

• Pre-washed for a softer, broken-in feel and to ensure the Blue Bubble texture remains consistent over time

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Transitional piece that shifts easily between smarter settings, when paired with a crisp trouser, and more casual environments when worn open over a t-shirt
• The loose, relaxed fit offers a contemporary silhouette that is polished enough for professional office spaces yet comfortable enough for laid-back weekend use
• The naturally wrinkled texture of seersucker means it requires minimal ironing, making it a primary choice for packing and warm-weather transit

Style, Fit & Sizing

• Intentionally cut loosely through the body and sleeves to provide a relaxed, airy feel without feeling oversized
• We recommend selecting your standard size to achieve the intended relaxed silhouette
• The generous cut and lightweight 100% cotton fabric allow for freedom of movement

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a cold cycle to protect the delicate bubble seersucker texture and the richness of the blue pigment
• Hang to dry naturally and keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading or becoming brittle
• Do not tumble dry, as the heat can flatten the seersucker texture and cause unnecessary shrinkage
• If required, use a medium heat to iron, but avoid over-pressing to maintain the natural puckered character of the fabric

Folk Relaxed Fit Shirt in Blue Bubble Seersucker - Our FAQs

1. What is the benefit of seersucker fabric?
   The "bubble" or puckered texture of seersucker creates a gap between the fabric and your skin, which significantly improves airflow and keeps you cooler than standard flat cotton.

2. Does this shirt need frequent ironing?
   One of the best features of seersucker is its natural texture, which hides creases effectively. It is designed to be worn with its characteristic bubble look, making it very low-maintenance.

3. Is the "Relaxed Fit" very large?
   It is designed to be roomy and comfortable rather than slim, but it still maintains a tailored shoulder and collar to ensure it looks smart.
