The Alex Crane Long-Sleeve Sun Tee has been debuted in a series of new seasonal colors to position it as the perfect option for consumers to pick up ahead of the summer months. The garment is made in Portugal from 100% yarn-dyed linen spun from Normandy flax that achieves a lived-in feel without looking too casual. The shirt thus maintains a vintage-like look and feel with a finish that's as easy to wear as linen that will only get better after being worn and washed.
The Alex Crane Long-Sleeve Sun Tee comes as a laid-back take on a classic that works well on its own or when layered to accommodate wear throughout any weather conditions. The garment is available now for $98.
