Mens shirt cotton linen

The fabric of this shirt is made of 70 percent skin-friendly cotton and 30 percent linen. It is slightly roughened, which gives it a pleasantly soft feel. The design features a lively, tartan-like check pattern. Blue de Gênes manufactures the shirt with button-down collar, without breast pocket and with cuffs that can be buttoned in two widths.

Long ago, dockworkers in Genoa wore work clothes made of a strong cotton fabric dyed with indigo. Since Genoa belonged to France at the time, this went by the French name "Bleu de Gênes", which in English-speaking countries became "Blue Jeans". Against the backdrop of this history, the Blue de Gênes label was launched in Kolding, Denmark, in 2010. But Ole Madsen, the mastermind behind it, has long since gone beyond jeans. He manufactures authentic clothing from selected materials, whose timeless design literally endures the years. Production takes place almost exclusively in Europe, with Blue de Gênes working with small, family-run businesses that are each specialists in their field. Thus, the jeans come from northern Italy, some pants from Turkey and the shirts from Portugal.
