Is this a shirt or a sweater?

It is a shirt cut in a textured cotton sweater knit, with a spread collar, button front and short sleeves. Treat it as a light knit top rather than a woven shirt.

It has dropped shoulders and a relaxed cut through the body. Those who want a closer fit should consider sizing down.

How should I care for the knit?

Cotton sweater knits hold shape best when washed cold and dried flat. Avoid hanging it wet, which can stretch the shoulders and hem.

Can I wear it to dinner or on a resort trip?

Yes. The spread collar and button front make it dressier than a tee, and the texture reads well with chinos or linen trousers.

What is the RISE note about?

Gap states the product was made in a factory that invests in gender equity and women's empowerment through RISE.

Our take on the Gap Factory Men's Textured Sweater Vacay Shirt

A short-sleeve shirt in a textured cotton sweater knit, cut with a spread collar, button front and dropped shoulders. It sits between a polo and a light sweater: more structure than a tee, less warmth than a knit pullover. It suits warm-weather smart-casual wear and resort dressing. Against plain cotton camp shirts it offers more texture and a relaxed drape, but the sweater knit is heavier and less breathable than a woven shirt.
