Basics Relaxed Fit Carbon Black Cotton Dobby Shirt

This relaxed fit shirt in carbon black is woven from 100% cotton in a subtle dobby weave that adds texture without pattern. The fabric weighs around 150 GSM—substantial enough to hold its shape through wear, yet breathable for Indian summers when you're moving between air-conditioned spaces and the outdoors.

The dobby construction creates a quiet visual interest that makes this shirt work harder than a basic plain weave. It layers well over t-shirts, sits comfortably untucked with chinos, and works as weekend casual without looking underdone. Carbon black reads darker than standard black in most light, which pairs well with our other relaxed fit options if you're building a rotation.

The 100% cotton fabric will soften further with washing. Expect minor shrinkage in the first wash—size up if you prefer a looser fit, or stick with your usual size if you like the shirt to settle closer to your body. Iron on low-medium heat to maintain the weave's texture.
