Patagonia Back Step Shirt

The Patagonia Back Step Shirt in Swell Dobby: Coal Orange serves as a lightweight, cooling solution for the most humid and demanding summer climates. Constructed from a balanced 4-ounce blend of 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton, this shirt utilises the natural strength and breathability of hemp to ensure constant airflow against the skin. By opting for these sustainable natural fibres, Patagonia provides a resilient garment that manages heat effectively while offering a soft, textured handle that avoids the synthetic feel of traditional technical travel wear.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The Coal Orange colourway features a subtle dobby pattern that adds visual depth and hides creases well
• The shirttail hem is specifically designed to look great when worn untucked over shorts or trousers

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle to preserve the natural hemp and cotton fibres
• Avoid using bleach as it can damage the integrity of the natural yarns and fade the colour
• Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to minimize any potential shrinkage
• Use a warm iron if needed, though the hemp blend develops a beautiful natural character when left unpressed

Our Patagonia Back Step Shirt FAQs

1. Is hemp fabric durable?
   Yes, hemp is one of the strongest natural fibres available, making this shirt much more resistant to wear and tear than a standard 100% cotton shirt.

2. Does the dobby weave feel different?
   The dobby weave creates a slight geometric texture on the surface, which helps keep the fabric from sticking to your skin in hot weather.

3. Will it shrink after the first wash?
   Because it is a blend of natural fibres, there may be minimal movement, but washing in cold water as recommended will keep the fit consistent.

4. Is the organic cotton soft?
   Absolutely, the organic cotton is included specifically to balance the ruggedness of the hemp, resulting in a shirt that feels comfortable from day one.
