Details

The design features comfortable, bicep-hugging sleeves that flare toward the hand, giving it a relaxed, flowy finish. It sits snug around the chest and slightly tapered at the waist for a flattering, natural silhouette — not too tight, not too boxy. The length hits just past the waist, offering that perfect “crop-but-not-too-cropped” balance. Thanks to the square-mesh pattern, this shirt is easily customizable and the top feels breezy and light, yet surprisingly cozy if you use a cotton yarn. It’s the ideal handmade piece for 65–75°F weather, keeping you cool in the sun while holding a touch of warmth in the breeze.
