Mens Dobby Cotton Short Sleeve Shirt (161699) — Pacific Island Print Bula Shirt
Details
Two Colourways. One Exceptional Shirt.
The Mens Dobby Cotton Polynesian Print Shirt (161699) by Geneva Fabrics & Fashion is a premium Pacific Island shirt that delivers on every level — bold Polynesian print, premium dobby-woven cotton, and a refined finish that stands out at any occasion. Available in two classic colourways, Blue and Brown, this shirt offers the versatility to suit every man's style and wardrobe.
What Is Dobby Cotton?
Dobby fabric is woven using a specialised loom that creates a subtle raised geometric texture within the cloth itself — entirely separate from the printed design on top. This gives the shirt two layers of quality: the bold Polynesian print you can see, and the premium woven texture you can feel. It's the kind of craftsmanship that sets this shirt apart from the rest.
