Carlo Riva Lino Arsenal Shirting

Renowned for its lightness, breathability and subdued character, Carlo Riva shirting is the principal offering of the best Italian shirtmakers (including Kiton, Mimmo Siviglia and Anna Matuozzo) but very difficult to find in North America.

A mix of 60% linen and 40% Egyptian Ginza cotton and linen, Carlo Riva’s Lino Arsenal is lightly textured, feels like voile without the transparency, presses beautifully, resists wrinkles and lasts for many years without sign of wear. It is not inexpensive but will provide pleasure for many years to come.

Hand wash or cold water machine wash on the delicate cycle and hang dry.

Offered by the half meter, three meters of this 90 cm wide cloth is required for a shirt (large men, or shirts with patch pockets may require 3.5 meters - please check with your shirtmaker).
