Former Legacy Short Sleeve Woven Shirt
The Former Legacy SS Woven is a men's short sleeve woven shirt from Former Merchandise, giving the Legacy name a button up treatment rather than a printed tee.
A Woven Shirt, Not a Tee
Unlike a knit graphic tee, a woven shirt like this one is built from woven fabric construction, which typically gives it more structure and a slightly dressier look than a jersey tee while still working as a short sleeve, warm weather piece. Former built this one under its Legacy name, tying it to the same branding as the label's other Legacy pieces.
Who It Works For
A short sleeve woven shirt fills a specific gap in a South Florida wardrobe, it is more put together than a plain tee but still light and breathable enough for the heat, which makes it a strong choice for wearing over a swim layer at the beach, out to dinner after a day on the boat, or as the shirt you throw on over a shop tee when you want a step up from casual. It buttons open over another layer just as easily as it wears on its own.
Wearing and Caring for It
Because this page does not list a specific fabric composition, always check the sewn in care tag before washing. As a general rule for woven shirts, cooler water and a lower dryer heat setting help woven fabric keep its shape and reduce wrinkling, and ironing on a low setting while the shirt is still slightly damp is the easiest way to keep the collar and button placket crisp between wears.
Former Merchandise Background
