Oben Shirt

Product Details

Optimal for layering, the Oben Shirt is crafted from a textured self-spot fabric selected to add a touch of texture to your classic looks. It's consciously designed with soft gathers at the cuffs to create a blouson effect, whilst a pleat in the back neck adds ease to the body shape. A go-to base layer for knitwear and blazers—dial up the contrast with the Altes Blazer in Green Sinda Print.

• Silky Lenzing™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend is a trans-seasonal weight fabric
• Textured spot weave
• Blouson sleeves with two-button cuff
• Inverted back pleat and curved hem

Material

57% Viscose Rayon 43% ECOVERO™ Viscose

This textured finish fabric has a gentle drape and soft handfeel. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is a man-made cellulosic fibre (MMCF), derived from wood pulp.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are recognised by CanopyStyle and EU Ecolabel certification as meeting high standards for environmental practice. This includes a low risk of sourcing raw materials from ancient or endangered forests, and the recycling of water and chemicals in the processing stages. According to Worldly's life cycle impact assessment data, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generate up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to conventional viscose.

Through our work with not-for-profit organisation Canopy, we are sourcing more than 95% of our viscose fibres from producers that have a green shirt rating according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. This rating is a reflection of Canopy's assessment of the producers' engagement with CanopyStyle audits, their contribution to conservation, innovation initiatives, sourcing policies, transparency and chemical management.
