Product Insights
The Sunflower Day Plain Poplin Shirt is a refined yet relaxed poplin shirt with a spread collar and shirttail hem that transitions from formal to casual, embodying the brand's anti-corporate, rock-and-roll simplicity. It offers 94% wrinkle recovery after 8 hours, outperforming linen by 34%, and an 85 CFM breathability index that keeps it cool and opaque without an undershirt. The 110-130 GSM poplin with a 2:1 plain weave resists pilling and lasts over 50 washes, though it may shrink in the first wash; cold wash and low tumble dry minimize shrinkage. Regular fit runs true to size, with genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, two-button barrel cuffs, and a curved hem. Made in Romania, it is currently out of stock but was available at a sale price of $99.95, 7% below other Sunflower poplin shirts.

- 110-130 GSM poplin with a 2:1 plain weave resists pilling, lasts 50+ washes, and may shrink in first wash.

- Design differences
- The Day Shirt distinguishes itself from the New Base with a shirttail hem, mother-of-pearl buttons, and a regular fit, enabling a refined yet relaxed look.
- Fabric weight and seasonal suitability
- The 110–130 GSM poplin is light enough for 30°C afternoons yet has enough body to layer cleanly under a blazer, making it a four-season shirt rather than only a warm-weather one.
- Care routine
- Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry low or hang dry to minimize shrinkage; iron on medium heat if needed.
