"You can expect most linen and cotton blends to have cool texture, but this basketweave enhances that effect dramatically. The variation of color that's appreciated up close blends together as a warm taupe from afar, oozing this easy, luxe vibe that you wouldn't expect from the rustic details going into this. It's one of those great outerwear pieces that works just as well lounging in the house as it does going out for a nice dinner."---Ludwin
