Product Insights
The Pure Linen Striped Shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren, now 75% off at $49.95 CAD (originally $195) and currently out of stock, is an authentic 100% linen piece that arrives stiff—a hallmark of genuine linen, not a defect. This oversized cut requires ordering a size down for a closer fit, and will shrink 3-5% in length after its first warm wash, while softening noticeably after 3-5 washes and becoming buttery by the tenth. The linen fibers are 30% stronger than cotton when wet, resist pilling, and the embroidered logo withstands over 200 washes, promising a decade of wear. Its elongated silhouette doubles as a tunic dress or open layering piece, and the fabric's wrinkles become natural with minimal ironing after a few washes.

Fit and material feedback on the replica
It is if you get your normal size. It is really oversized and since it is stiff cotton that doesn’t drape it fits bad. If it is closer to your body it should be ok
