I’ve always machine-washed it on cold and air-dried it. The collared shirt has a fairly dense weave, but is so so stiff.

I’ve been using linen sheets on my bed, and it’s heavenly, and also bought a few linen tops from Everlane and J Crew. So my wardrobe has slowly been adapting to the heat in the form of lots and lots of hats (you’re welcome, mom) and linen. I know people say that humidity is bad, but I swear the dry heat out here is even worse. I grew up in the northeast, and sure it does get hot and humid there, but nothin’ like California.
