Therefore, it looks like solid denim, but when you wear it, the wind passes through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt also has the quick-drying characteristic of linen, making it relatively comfortable even in the middle of summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe indigo shades, the slightly brownish linen hue, and the subtle slub texture.
