Denim in the summer looks cool. We’re not here to argue with that. The issue is that denim in the summer does not keep you cool. But Japan’s UES is here to fix that with its 502511 linen denim shirt.
Yes, you heard that right: linen denim. UES has worked some serious alchemy to combine the breathability and lightness of linen with the tactile, rigidness of denim to create a work shirt that the denim heads among us can wear all year round. Crafted in Japan, this shirt isn’t the earthy-tones, floaty things you usually think of when talking about linen shirts, it’s a real piece of workwear that will wear and fade for years to come. Double chest pockets and black cat-eye buttons help to solidify this as a true work shirt.
Now you can cast off that raw selvedge Type 2 and beat the heat in this breathy wonder from UES. Hell, it would even look great with a pair of shorts.
Available from Franklin and Poe for $315.
