Billabong Ricardo Short Sleeve Button Up Shirt
If you have been searching for a billabong short sleeve button up shirt that does not feel stiff out of the bag, the Ricardo is built for that. Billabong pre-washes the fabric so it already has a lived-in softness the first time you put it on, and the regular fit with a straight hem keeps the whole shirt relaxed instead of boxy.
Fabric and Build
- 55% Linen / 45% Lyocell blend with a yarn dye texture
- Regular fit through the body
- Chest pocket
- Straight bottom hem
- Garment wash finish
- Woven label detailing
The linen brings breathability while the lyocell keeps the hand feel smooth rather than coarse, and the yarn dye texture gives the weave visible depth instead of a flat printed look. That combination is what most short sleeve button down shoppers are after, a shirt light enough for humid days but with enough weight to hold a clean drape.
Who It Is For
This is a men's short sleeve button up shirt for anyone who wants one piece that can move from a morning at the shop or the marina straight into dinner. The chest pocket is genuinely functional, not decorative, so it holds sunglasses or a phone without pulling on the fabric. The straight hem means it reads clean whether it is tucked or worn loose over shorts, and the regular fit leaves enough room to layer a t-shirt underneath on cooler evenings without the shirt feeling tight.
Wear and Care
Because it is pre-washed, the Ricardo does not need a break-in period, it is ready to wear on day one. Linen-lyocell blends like this one do best with a gentle machine wash and a low iron or steam if you want the wrinkles smoothed out, since aggressive high heat can work against a garment wash finish. Hang it to dry when you can to keep the drape of the fabric intact.
