Is a silk-cotton tee worth it over a plain cotton long sleeve?

If you want drape, softness and temperature regulation, the silk content delivers what cotton alone cannot. If you want a rugged everyday tee you can wash hard, a heavier cotton long sleeve is the safer pick.

How should I wash a silk-cotton shirt?

Treat it like fine knitwear: cool hand or gentle-machine wash and dry flat away from direct heat. Avoid hot dryers and harsh detergent, which dull the silk.

Does it fit true to size?

It is cut as a relaxed fit, so it sits roomier through the body than a standard tee. Those who want a closer fit should consider sizing down.

Can I wear it in summer and winter?

Yes. The fine 28-gauge knit breathes in warm weather and works as a soft layer under knitwear when it is cold.

What is included with the shirt?

Complimentary gift wrap and a handwritten note can be added in the cart or at checkout.

Our take on the Luca Faloni Long Sleeve T-Shirt

A long-sleeve crew-neck tee in a 60% silk, 40% cotton jersey, knitted at gauge 28 in Brescia, Northern Italy. The silk gives it a fluid drape, natural stretch and a soft, breathable handle that wears warm in winter as a base layer and cool enough for summer. It is a relaxed-fit, elevated basic rather than a performance or budget tee, and it competes with other Italian-made silk-cotton knits on fabric and finishing rather than on features. The concealed double-stitched seams and curved hem are the details that separate it from a plain cotton long sleeve.

Pros

Silk-cotton jersey is soft, breathable and naturally temperature-regulating
Fluid drape and fine 28-gauge knit look dressier than a cotton tee
Concealed double-stitched seams give a clean finish
Relaxed fit with a curved hem layers easily
Made in Northern Italy from Piedmont-knitted fabric

Cons

Silk-cotton needs gentle washing and care; it is not a toss-in-any-load tee
Relaxed cut runs roomy, so a trim fit is not an option
Fine-gauge silk jersey is more delicate than heavy cotton
Limited to a single fabric and cut, with no heavier or lighter weights
