BILLABONG CORDOBA SS SHIRT
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Beach, Ready for Wherever the Day Goes
The Billabong Cordoba Short Sleeve Shirt is a warm-weather essential engineered from a 55% Linen / 45% Lyocell blend. That combination delivers the natural breathability and subtle texture linen is known for, softened by the silky drape and moisture-wicking comfort of lyocell. The result is a shirt that feels cool and collected from the morning surf check to a late-afternoon patio.
The all-over print pattern makes a statement without trying too hard, landing squarely in that surf-influenced casual register that Billabong has been perfecting since 1973. A garment-wash finish breaks the fabric in before it ever hits your closet, so there is no stiff, boxy break-in period to deal with.

Why Linen and Lyocell Work Together
Linen is one of the oldest natural fibers, prized for how it pulls heat away from the body and gets softer with every wash. Lyocell (often known by the brand name Tencel) is a wood-pulp-derived fiber that adds smoothness, reduces wrinkling, and improves moisture management. Together they create a fabric that breathes better than a standard cotton shirt, wrinkles less than pure linen, and softens noticeably after a few washes.
A Short Sleeve Shirt That Goes the Distance
The Cordoba is not a novelty piece. Wear it open over a boardshort on the way to the beach, button it up for a post-session lunch, or pack it for a weekend trip without worrying about ironing. The relaxed fit works across a wide range of body types and layering situations, and the all-over print reads well whether you are in the water or miles from it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Billabong Cordoba SS Shirt made of?
- The Cordoba Short Sleeve Shirt is made from a 55% Linen / 45% Lyocell blend. Linen provides natural breathability and texture, while lyocell adds softness, drape, and moisture management.
- What does garment wash mean on the Billabong Cordoba shirt?
- Garment washing is a finishing process where the completed shirt is washed before it leaves the factory. This breaks down the fabric slightly, resulting in a softer hand feel, a subtly worn look, and a more relaxed drape right out of the bag.
- Is the Billabong Cordoba a button-up shirt or a pullover?
- The Cordoba is a full button-front shirt with a collar. It is not a pullover. The image shows a traditional woven button-up construction with short sleeves.
- How does the Billabong Cordoba SS Shirt fit?
- The Cordoba is cut in a relaxed fit, meaning it sits loosely through the body and shoulders for comfort and ease of movement. It is not a slim or tailored cut.
- Can I machine wash the Billabong Cordoba Short Sleeve Shirt?
- The data provided does not include explicit care instructions. As a general guideline for linen-lyocell blends, a cold gentle machine wash or hand wash is typical. Check the garment tag for the manufacturer's official care instructions.
- Where can I buy the Billabong Cordoba Short Sleeve Shirt?
- The Billabong Cordoba SS Shirt is sold at Island Water Sports, both in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com.
- Is linen good for hot weather beach shirts?
- Yes. Linen is one of the most breathable natural fibers available and has been used in hot-climate clothing for centuries. It wicks moisture, allows air circulation, and gets softer with repeated washing, making it a strong choice for beach and summer casual wear.
