14th & Union Linen & Cotton Camp Shirt
We designed this camp shirt for those days when you want to look put-together without sacrificing comfort. The 14th & union linen & cotton camp shirt blends premium linen and cotton fibers to create a breathable, lightweight fabric that moves with you from coffee runs to casual evening gatherings.
The relaxed camp collar and straight hem deliver a timeless silhouette that works equally well tucked in or worn loose. We’ve kept the design clean and versatile so you can pair it with chinos for dinner or shorts for weekend errands.
Fabric & fit details
Fabric Blend & Breathability
The 55% linen and 45% cotton construction gives this shirt the best qualities of both fibers. Linen provides natural temperature regulation and moisture-wicking properties that keep you cool when the humidity climbs. Cotton adds softness against the skin and improves the fabric’s ability to hold shape through repeated wear.
This blend strikes the ideal balance for warm-weather shirts — you get linen’s signature texture and airflow without the extreme wrinkling that 100% linen garments often develop. The cotton component means the shirt emerges from the dryer looking presentable with minimal effort. Many of our customers appreciate how this fabric softens further with each wash while maintaining its structural integrity.
Fit & Styling Versatility
We cut this camp shirt with a relaxed fit that sits comfortably across the shoulders and chest without feeling boxy. The armholes are positioned to allow unrestricted movement, making it a practical choice for active summer days. The straight hem falls just below the beltline, giving you the option to wear it tucked into tailored trousers or untucked over denim.
The camp collar — a flat, open-neck design without a traditional collar band — creates a more casual profile than a standard dress shirt. This detail pairs naturally with the rest of our men’s shirt offerings when you’re building a warm-weather wardrobe that transitions easily between settings. Style it with linen pants and loafers for garden parties, or throw it on over a clean white tee with chinos for laid-back weekends.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Machine wash this shirt in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric’s texture and color. We recommend tumble drying on low heat and removing the garment while still slightly damp to minimize wrinkles. If you prefer a crisper look, a quick pass with a medium-heat iron on the linen setting works well — focus on the collar and front placket.
Linen-cotton blends naturally develop a lived-in character over time, which is part of their appeal. Expect some softening and subtle texture changes after the first few washes. These shifts enhance comfort without compromising the shirt’s structure. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents, which can weaken natural fibers and fade colors prematurely.

Common Questions About This Linen & Cotton Shirt
Yes, this shirt runs true to size with a relaxed fit. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down one size. The chest and shoulder measurements align with standard men’s sizing, and the relaxed cut provides room for comfortable movement without appearing oversized.
The cotton-linen blend significantly reduces wrinkling compared to 100% linen garments. You’ll still see some natural creasing — part of the fabric’s casual character — but it won’t develop the deep wrinkles that pure linen shows within minutes of wear. Removing the shirt from the dryer while slightly damp minimizes creases further.
The camp collar gives this shirt a more casual profile than traditional dress shirts, making it better suited for relaxed business casual environments or smart-casual occasions. Pair it with tailored chinos and leather loafers for a polished look that works in creative offices or casual Fridays.
Hang the shirt in a steamy bathroom while you shower — the steam will relax minor wrinkles. Alternatively, use a handheld steamer on medium heat. For stubborn creases, lightly mist the fabric with water and smooth it by hand while the shirt hangs to dry.
Minimal shrinkage may occur after the first wash, typically less than 2% in length. We recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat to preserve the original fit. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, this slight shrinkage won’t significantly impact wearability.
Absolutely. The linen content provides excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties, while the cotton component adds comfort against the skin. This blend is specifically designed for warm-weather wear and performs well in both dry heat and humid conditions.
