Superflex Solid Shirt Slim Fit

The Lindbergh Superflex Solid Shirt slim fit (79 CAD, in stock) is a cotton-nylon-spandex blend where 21% nylon boosts wrinkle recovery and tensile strength, and a non-iron finish allows it to emerge from the dryer ready to wear. The stretch fabric and non-iron finish enable easy care and all-day comfort, while the baby blue colorway provides a soft neutral for pairing with a gray flannel suit or taupe chinos. The main tradeoff is that cold machine wash and low heat dry are needed to prolong stretch and slow elastane degradation.

Material

Cotton-nylon-spandex: stretch for movement, nylon for wrinkle recovery.

Why this is supported

The 3% spandex and 21% nylon in the SuperFlex fabric work together to provide stretch mobility and wrinkle recovery. The stretch allows the slim cut to follow body contours without binding, as described:

This stretch also enables clean layering:

The nylon content adds wrinkle recovery:

However, a trade-off is noted:

elastane fibers will gradually degrade after many cyclesHow does the SuperFlex stretch hold up after multiple washes? Does it lose elasticity over time?

This means the stretch will diminish over time with repeated washing and heat exposure, so cold wash and low dry preserve it longer.

Color versatility
