Product Insights
The Djab Pointelle Knit Camp Shirt combines a camp shirt heritage with a semi-sheer pointelle knit that drapes closer to the body than traditional woven versions, creating a polished silhouette. Turkish manufacturing ensures consistent knit tension and prevents button placket pulling at a CAD 79 price point, but the openwork knit requires careful layering (especially in green, which reduces transparency) and delicate care (hand wash, flat dry, low iron) to avoid shrinkage, snagging, and stretching that relaxes the fit over time. Sizing down offers a slimmer fit; sizing up accommodates those between sizes. The core tradeoff: a refined, textured style with relaxed durability and upkeep demands.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Same regular fit as other Djab camp shirts, but drapes closer than traditional woven camp shirts.
- Sizing
- Size down once for a slimmer fit; size up if between sizes.
- Construction quality
- Fine-gauge knitting prevents pulling around the button placket for consistent fit.
- Transparency
- Green color reduces transparency of the inherently semi-sheer pointelle knit.
- Design intent
- Semi-sheer pointelle knit is integral to design identity.
- Care
- Hand wash or gentle cycle, lay flat to dry, store folded, and iron on low heat to avoid shrinkage.
- Shrinkage
- Cold wash and flat dry prevent shrinkage in the 60/40 cotton-polyester blend.
- Damage resistance
- Susceptible to snagging from sharp objects but less prone to pilling due to polyester blend.
- Made in Turkey
- Turkish manufacturing enables the pointelle knit at CAD 79 with proper tension control.
- Knit quality
- Pointelle pattern holds consistent tension, no pulling around buttons or seams.
- Heritage
- Camp shirt heritage meets pointelle knit; green color avoids see-through.
- Pointelle knit
- Pointelle knit replaces bold prints with textured depth; green color minimizes see-through opacity.
- Manufacturing
- Turkish manufacturing ensures consistent pointelle tension at a CAD 79 price point.
- Drape
- The pointelle knit drapes closer to the body than a typical camp shirt, creating a polished silhouette.
- Opacity
- The pointelle knit is semi-sheer, especially in green, so layering choices affect the silhouette.
- Stretch
- The openwork knit may stretch slightly with wear, causing the fit to relax over time.
- Styling
- Pairs with tailored shorts or chinos without looking costumey.
- Value
- At $79 ($39.95 sale), Turkish construction ensures consistent stitch tension for a durable pointelle knit.

Deep Research
What Made in Turkey means for this shirt
- Simons uses Turkish manufacturing for its Djab house brand to access a knitwear supply base that bridges the gap between the high MOQs of Asian mega-factories and the cost constraints of a CAD 79 retail price, making it possible to offer this all-over pointelle design at a price point where a more costly European-sourced knit would push it out of the private-label range.
- Turkey has long been the European Union's third-largest source of imported clothing, a status supported by factories that invest in fine-gauge circular and flat-bed knitting machines to meet EU mid-tier brand requirements — for a pointelle camp shirt, that means the mill is accustomed to pattern-stitch knits where inconsistent tension would cause visible pulling around buttons and along seams.
Camp collar shirts: history and modern style
- The open 'pyjama' collar descends from the 1930s Cuban guayabera — a loose, pocketed linen shirt — making the camp collar an inherently leisure-oriented detail that signals warm-weather ease without the formality of a traditional pointed collar.
- The camp collar gained mainstream popularity in the 1950s as part of American resort and cabana wear, often cut from lightweight fabrics like rayon or cotton seersucker — this Djab shirt adapts that mid-century ease into a fine gauge knit that drapes closer to the body for a more polished, European-informed silhouette.
- Where classic camp shirts rely on bold rayon prints (think 1950s aloha or bowling shirts), the pointelle openwork knit in a cotton-polyester blend replaces graphic loudness with textural depth, elevating the silhouette toward contemporary smart-casual and making it easier to pair with tailored shorts or chinos without looking costumey.

Q&A
5 answered- How does the regular fit of this shirt compare to other Djab shirts? Should I size down for a slimmer look?
- The Pointelle Knit Camp Shirt has a regular fit, as do other Djab camp shirts like the Diamond Pattern Textured Camp Shirt [1][3]. If you prefer a slimmer look, sizing down is an option, but keep in mind that the openwork knit may stretch slightly with wear.
- Is the openwork knit see-through? What color is least likely to be transparent?
- Openwork knits like pointelle can be somewhat see-through, especially in lighter colors [6]. The green color of this shirt is darker and less likely to be transparent than lighter shades would be. Since green is the only available color, it offers the best opacity among options.
- What are the care instructions for this shirt? Can it be machine washed or does it require hand washing?
- We recommend gentle care for this pointelle knit shirt. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat to prevent shrinking or misshaping [6]. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat when ironing.
- Will the cotton-polyester blend shrink after washing? Should I order one size up to account for shrinkage?
- The 60% polyester content helps resist shrinkage, but the 40% cotton may shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. To be safe, wash in cold water and lay flat to dry [6]. Sizing up is not necessary if you follow care instructions, but if you're between sizes, the larger size offers more leeway.
- How does the pointelle knit hold up to regular wear? Does it pill easily?
- Pointelle knit is delicate due to its openwork structure and can snag or tear if caught on sharp objects [6]. It is not especially prone to pilling, especially with the polyester blend, but we recommend gentle handling and storage folded rather than hung to maintain its shape.
