Our Ravello Red Mercerized Cotton Shirting is so soft and airy that it feels like it might just evaporate any minute! Mercerized cotton fabrics are far from your basic cotton fabrics, as they are finished with a special chemical treatment that increases luster, dye absorption, and tear strength while reducing fabric shrinkage. This luminous, crisp-handed cotton shirting is one for the fashion books and a wardrobe essential! Thin and lightweight, it has a crisp, cool hand and a stiff but flexible drape that allows you to get creative with silhouette. Turn it into classic button-downs, as well as smart and billowy skirts, blouses, and dresses. Translucent, a lining is suggested for more opacity or structure.This eco-friendly product is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified; tested independently and worldwide, the certification system evaluates finished, semi-finished, and raw textiles while thoroughly covering chemicals, harmful substances, and precautionary parameters. Also recognized and certified by the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative), this product undoubtedly qualifies as eco-friendly for its sustainable sourcing; focusing on the exchange of good practices, it passes the economic, environmental, and social concerns of the initiative.
