Bamboo Shirt – A Guide to a Small Selection

Short answer: A bamboo shirt is soft, breathable and creases less than many cotton shirts, but the selection is small. We only carry a few styles, so check the current collections, and consider a polo or a long sleeve bamboo t-shirt as an everyday alternative.

What makes a bamboo shirt different?

Bamboo viscose has a natural drape and a soft surface that feels comfortable straight against the skin. The fabric wicks moisture away, so you avoid visible sweat marks on hot days or in meetings. Read more about the effect in the guide to bamboo and temperature regulation.

An honest look at the selection

Shirts are not our biggest category. Have a look at the current selection of bamboo shirts for men and bamboo shirts for women. If there is no style for you, a bamboo polo or a long sleeve bamboo t-shirt often gives the same well-dressed look.

The shirt that works for you

For job interviews and long days, a moisture-wicking fabric is a big advantage. A bamboo undershirt beneath your shirt catches the sweat before it reaches the shirt fabric. Have a look at bamboo undershirts for men, which quietly do the job underneath.
