DAPPLED Boxy Long Sleeve Shirt

There is a quiet, petty comfort in carrying your own shade with you—specifically, the permanent phantom shadow of a leaf-heavy branch cast asymmetrically across the back. Finished in a subtle, sage-tinted light grey, this shirt offers the optical illusion of standing beneath an oak canopy on a muted late-Sunday afternoon, regardless of whether you are actually outdoors or simply stepping out of an uninspiring meeting. The shadow print is low-contrast, muted, and deliberately off-center, translating a fleeting ambient moment into a permanent architectural detail.

1. The Print: Asymmetrical, low-contrast botanical silhouette across the back panel, mimicking real-time light and shade.
2. Palette: Muted light grey infused with a pale lichen/sage undertone.
3. Silhouette: Relaxed, boxy cut featuring dropped shoulders, set-in long sleeves, and a clean straight hem.
4. Shirting Details: Classic convertible lapel collar, tonal button-front closure, and a single functional patch pocket on the left chest.
5. Fabric & Weight: 100% woven polyester base, $145\text{ gsm}$ ($4.3\text{ oz/yd}^2$). Lightweight, airy drape with structural resilience against creasing.

1. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
2. Line dry in actual shade or tumble dry on low.
3. Iron on low temperature (inside out; avoid direct iron contact with the shadow graphic).
4. Do not bleach, dry clean, or attempt to rake the back panel.
