JBS of Denmark bamboo shirt and when it beats cotton

Short answer: A shirt in bamboo viscose is softer and stretchier than a classic cotton shirt and creases less. It is used mostly for everyday life and travel, where comfort matters more than a stiff collar.

Drape rather than stiffness

The cotton shirt holds its shape because the fabric is stiff. Bamboo viscose drapes softly and follows the body. That gives a calmer look without sharp creases, but also a softer collar. See the range in bamboo shirt for men.

For travel

A shirt that does not crease in a bag is worth a lot on a trip. Bamboo viscose straightens out when the shirt hangs for an hour. More travel pieces in bamboo clothing for the summer holiday.

Under the shirt

An undershirt beneath absorbs sweat before it reaches the shirt fabric and extends the time between washes. The models are in bamboo undershirts for men.

Washing and ironing

Shirts in bamboo viscose should not be ironed hot. Hang them up right after washing and most creases fall out on their own. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Colours and use

Light shirts are worn mostly in summer and with light trousers, while dark ones are worn all year. For everyday, a plain shirt is the most usable. See the whole group in bamboo clothing for men.

Frequently asked questions

Can a bamboo shirt be ironed?

Yes, but on low heat and preferably while it is slightly damp. High heat damages the fibres.

Is the collar as firm as on a cotton shirt?

No. Bamboo viscose gives a softer collar, which suits everyday wear better than a suit.

Do bamboo shirts crease in a suitcase?

Less than cotton. Most creases fall out when the shirt is hung up.
