BEAMS PLUS 1/40 Linen Open Collar Short Sleeve Shirt

Order via Japan Rabbit

This BEAMS PLUS open collar shirt takes its cues from 1950s American store-brand vintage shirts, updating that classic look for everyday wear today. The open collar gives it an easy, casual air, while patch pockets on both sides of the chest add a practical, vintage-inspired touch. A side tuck detail at the back allows for freer movement, a nod to the functional design BEAMS PLUS is known for.

The fabric is a 1/40 linen canvas that's dyed in its raw, undyed state and finished with a sun-dried washer process. This method gives each shirt its own uneven dye pattern and sun-washed texture, so no two pieces look quite the same. Because the dye sits close to the surface, take care with friction, especially when damp, since color can transfer to other fabrics through sweat or rain. The shirt can be hand-washed or dry-cleaned; check the care label for specifics.

The cut is a relaxed box silhouette with a slightly wider chest and a short, breezy length. It's an easy piece to throw on over a tee in warm weather, or wear open as a light layer.

BEAMS PLUS draws on American workwear and uniform design from the 1940s through the mid-1960s, reworking those utilitarian originals into modern basics built to last.

This secondhand piece is in near-unused condition, worn only two to three times, and comes in a size S.
