Short-sleeved shirt, VIVEK style

A relaxed summer style: The short-sleeved Vivek shirt adds relaxed elegance to your wardrobe with its casual oversized fit, slightly dropped shoulders, and patch chest pocket. A refined detail is the collar, which creates different looks depending on how it's buttoned – from a bowling collar to a type of Kent collar. The loose silhouette can be effortlessly combined into layering looks. The shirt is crafted from lightweight chambray with a linen-like appearance made of 100% organically grown cotton, which is especially comfortable to wear in summer.

If you like this style, then it’s meant for you. We believe that everyone can wear our clothing, regardless of gender stereotypes.

To avoid the use of conventional synthetic fibers, we do not use elastane for cuffs and hems. As a result, these areas may stretch slightly during wear and contract again after washing.

We recommend washing this shirt at 30 °C on a gentle cycle and air drying it. We advise against using a tumble dryer. Lower wash temperatures and air drying save energy and can also help preserve the material and shape.

MELA clothing is triple certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Green Button. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, so that we can speak with a clear conscience about holistically sustainable textiles.
