Product Insights

The Romana Camp Shirt by On Vacation is a relaxed-fit, unisex shirt made from 100% viscose that feels silky and cool, wicks moisture, and displays vivid, long-lasting prints. Its open camp collar and straight hem maximize airflow, embodying a Mediterranean-inspired vacation ethos. The main tradeoff: maintaining the drape and print requires cold gentle washing and flat drying, and women may need to size down for a less oversized fit.

Drape

100% viscose: silky, cool to the touch, and drapes fluidly away from the body for an elegant relaxed fit.

Why this is supported

The 100% viscose fabric is lightweight and fluid, draping naturally over the body. It is

soft, smooth, and cool to the toucharcusag.com

.

It does not have the crispness of cotton poplin or the dry texture of linen.arcusag.com

Instead, it feels fluid and gentle. Viscose also helps shirts hang cleanly, skim the body, and move well. This drape makes the relaxed fit look elegant and allows the shirt to be worn open —

The shirt's 100% viscose construction delivers a liquid drape and silky hand feel, helping the shirt hang cleanly and move well.

The fabric is also breathable and more so than most synthetics, making it suitable for warm weather.

Yes, viscose is breathable — and more so than most synthetics.globalfabricwholesale.com

Additionally, viscose's dye affinity yields rich, lasting print colors.

Print and color potential: Many viscose fabrics take dye well and can deliver rich color, especially in fashion wovens.arcusag.com
Breathability

Viscose's open fiber structure wicks moisture and resists clinging, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable in warm, humid conditions.

Why this is supported

The open fiber structure of viscose gives it excellent breathability.

Viscose stays light, absorbs moisture away from the skin, and resists the clingy, sticky feeling that heavier fabrics develop when you sweat.globalfabricwholesale.com

This keeps the shirt feeling cool and non-clingy, ideal for warm, humid weather.

Print vibrancy

Viscose's strong dye affinity gives the all-over print intense, long-lasting colors.

Why this is supported

Viscose fabrics take dye well, delivering rich color that holds up over time.

Print and color potential: Many viscose fabrics take dye well and can deliver rich color, especially in fashion wovens.arcusag.com

This ensures the vibrant watercolor-style print remains impactful.

Care

Because wet viscose weakens, the shirt requires cold gentle washing and flat drying to maintain shape and drape.

Why this is supported

Viscose fibers lose tensile strength when wet.

Viscose behaves differently. Its regenerated structure swells significantly in water, disrupting internal bonds and reducing tensile strength.szoneierfabrics.com

That is why cold gentle cycle and flat drying are crucial to preserve the shirt’s shape and drape over time.

Sizing

Unisex relaxed fit works for most builds; men true to size, women size down.

Why this is supported

The Romana Camp Shirt uses a unisex relaxed cut. A model who is 1.86 m tall wears size L, as noted on ecru.es.

The relaxed cut and fluid drape create a silhouette that accommodates a wide range of body shapes, flattering both straighter and softer figures.

Functionality

Untucked straight hem; open camp collar maximizes airflow for cooling.

Why this is supported

The Romana Camp Shirt's straight hem is intentionally designed to be worn untucked.

Heritage

Open camp collar and straight hem originate from tropical workwear.

Why this is supported

The Romana’s open camp collar and relaxed fit are rooted in Cuban and Filipino workwear for tropical heat, where the loose cut and unbuttoned neck maximize airflow.

The workwear origins are why camp collar shirts usually have looser fits and are unbuttoned at the neck.stridewise.com

This silhouette traces to the Cuban guayabera—a shirt with a straight hem that is never tucked—and was popularized in the U.S. by Cuban immigrants. The style was elevated to pop-culture status by Sean Connery in Thunderball, and modern styling (worn open over a tank top) continues its original design intent.

Brand identity

Shirt embodies On Vacation’s Mediterranean-inspired relaxed lifestyle ethos.

Why this is supported

On Vacation’s design language is rooted in the 1970s and 1980s Mediterranean coastal culture, aiming to evoke the calm of the coast and the warmth of the sun.

Inspired by the 70s and 80s, the brand reflects the calm of the coast, the warmth of the sun, and the beauty of nature.sherry-nguyen.com

Print vividness

Viscose absorbs dye deeply for vivid colors and a smooth surface.

Why this is supported

The 100% viscose fabric takes dye well, producing deep, vivid colors.

Print and color potential: Many viscose fabrics take dye well and can deliver rich color, especially in fashion wovens.arcusag.com

The fabric's fluid drape lets the all-over print lie flat without pulling or wrinkling. Furthermore,

It does not have the crispness of cotton poplin or the dry texture of linen.arcusag.com

meaning the print has a smoother, more refined surface than typical cotton or linen camp shirts.

Print durability

Print stays vivid through sun, salt, and humidity with cold wash and flat drying.

Why this is supported

The print retains its color in direct sunlight and salt spray due to viscose's strong dye affinity.

Viscose’s strong dye affinity allows the all-over print to achieve deep, vivid colours that hold up well against the sun and salt airHow 100% viscose actually feels and wears — rich_lasting_print_saturation

However, prolonged direct sun exposure can cause fading, so care instructions are important.

We recommend machine washing this viscose shirt in cold water on a gentle cycle, then laying it flat to dry. Avoid bleach and tumble drying to preserve the fabric.What are the care instructions for this viscose shirt (e.g., machine washable, dry clean only)?

Additionally, viscose resists clinging when wet, so the print does not distort in humid conditions.
