FAQs
Does this shirt shrink in the wash?
Linen can shrink slightly if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. Stick to cold washes and air drying to minimize this.
Is the fabric see-through?
Like many lightweight linens, it may be slightly translucent. Wearing a skin-toned camisole underneath can help if preferred.
How should I store this shirt during winter?
Store in a cool, dry place on a proper hanger to avoid deep creases in the fabric.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, this shirt is designed with a regular fit; it should fit true to your standard UK dress size.
Can I iron this shirt at high temperatures?
Yes, linen can withstand high heat, but it is best to use steam to ensure the fabric remains supple.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears excessively wrinkled after washing.
Iron the shirt while it is still slightly damp or use a high-powered garment steamer to relax the fibers.
Fabric feels stiff after the first wash.
This is normal for new linen; it will soften progressively with subsequent washes and regular wear.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Treat stains immediately with a mild fabric-safe detergent before washing, avoiding harsh bleaching agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your linen shirt maintains its structure and color, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cold-water cycle to prevent shrinking.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as it can weaken the natural linen fibers.
- Ironing: Iron while slightly damp or use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles effectively.
- Storage: Hang the shirt on a contoured hanger to help maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with other ARKET staples like tailored cotton trousers or classic denim.
