Product Insights
ET AL, tracing its lineage to the 1987 SHOW.ROOM knitwear label and designed by Anthony Capon since 2008, pairs a bias-cut yoke with 100% linen in the Shola S/S shirt (A$429, in stock) to deliver movement, drape and cooling: the yoke stretches diagonally for easy reach and shapes shoulders without darts, while the roughly 160–200 GSM linen feels cool on contact, absorbs 20% of its weight before feeling damp and dries twice as fast as cotton. In Forest Stripe, muted green/burgundy/brown earth tones read as a tonal neutral, masking wrinkles better than solid pale linen and remaining far less see-through, so it pairs naturally with off-white, olive, tan and indigo. The tradeoff is care: dry-cleaning is required, steam can distort the bias-cut sections, and pressing must be low-heat with a cloth or professional — which adds recurring cost and slows linen's softening. Sized on Et Al's Australian 1–6 numeric grid, the Shola is the label's entry-tier linen shirt, priced for bias-cut construction rather than fiber provenance.
Verified claims
- Bias-cut yoke
- A bias-cut yoke stretches for reach, drapes softly, shapes shoulders without darts, and offsets its stripes by design.
- Care
- Dry clean only; bias-cut sections can stretch under steam, so press on low heat with a cloth or have it professionally pressed.
- Cooling performance
- 100% linen feels cool on contact, absorbs 20% of its weight before feeling damp, and dries about twice as fast as cotton.
- Sizing system
- Sizes 1–6 use Et Al's Australian numeric grid, not EU letter sizes.
- Stripe styling
- Forest Stripe's muted earth tones read as a tonal neutral, and its vertical stripes mask wrinkles and extend the visual line.
- Bias-cut fit
- Bias-cut yoke adds diagonal stretch for easier arm movement and maximum drape.
- Colorway
- The Forest Stripe pairs like a tonal neutral with off-white, olive, tan and indigo.
- Stripe alignment
- In FOREST STRIPE the bias-cut yoke stripes run diagonally and deliberately don't align with the body stripes.
- Design heritage
- Et Al traces to the 1987 SHOW.ROOM knitwear label; Anthony Capon has led design since 2008.
- Line pricing
- At A$429 the Shola is ET AL's entry-point linen shirt, priced for bias-cut construction rather than fiber provenance.
- Forest Stripe
- FOREST STRIPE's muted green/burgundy/brown stripes read as a tonal neutral and mask wrinkles better than solid pale linen.
- Designer tier
- The Shola S/S is ET AL's entry-tier linen shirt, A$20 below the A$449 Shola Shirt.
- Price context
- At A$429 it sits well above Alex Crane's US$158 Ola linen shirt.
- Softening
- Linen softens with wear, but dry-clean-only delays the break-in.
- Ownership cost
- Dry-clean-only care adds recurring professional-cleaning costs on top of the AUD 429 price.
- Bias yoke pressing
- Steam can distort the bias-cut yoke; press low with a cloth or professionally.
- Stripe practicality
- The Forest Stripe hides wrinkles and is less see-through than solid light linen.
- Fabric weight
- The listing does not state a GSM, but linen shirts typically fall around 160–200 GSM as a light-to-medium category band rather than a spec for this garment.
- Opacity
- FOREST STRIPE is less see-through than white or pastel linen, but opacity is not guaranteed because the listing does not state fabric weight or weave.
- Wrinkle masking
- The vertical stripe pattern masks creases far better than a solid light colour.
- Moisture management
- Linen absorbs up to 20% of its weight before feeling damp and dries twice as fast as cotton.
- Color code
- Muted, dark earth stripes are the signature ET AL mainline color code, not the bright SHOW-E sub-brand palette.
- Tonal neutrality
- Muted earth-toned stripe pairs as a tonal neutral with off-white, olive, tan and indigo.
- Material and construction
- The Shola is specified as 100% linen with a bias-cut feature yoke across the shoulders; patch pockets are listed, but the exact two-chest placement is not spelled out and should be treated as an unstated detail.
- Fit classification
- The Shola has no official relaxed or oversized fit label; the bias-cut yoke simply adds give across the shoulders for a roomier upper body. ET AL's sizing guide supplies body measurements from bust 85 cm and shoulder 36.8 cm at size 1 to bust 110 cm and shoulder 42.8 cm at size 6, and comparable ET AL linen shirts are tagged relaxed-fit if a genuinely loose cut is wanted.
- Bias-cut shape retention
- Bias-cut yoke panels can relax or distort over time, especially if hung; that risk is part of why the dry-clean-only instruction matters for holding the shoulder shape.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Shola S/s Shirt Ss: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve, button-front shirt in 100% linen, shown with a loose, relaxed fit and a curved hem that falls past the waist on the model. It comes in the Forest Stripe colourway — narrow vertical dark-brown and black stripes with muted green and rust-red accents — with a bias-cut feature yoke across the shoulders, two chest patch pockets each with a single button, and sizes 1–6. Note it's listed as dry clean only, so it isn't a machine-washable pick.[1,2,3,4] | Lyker Shirt Yl: Choose this for a relaxed, roomy warm-weather shirt: it's a linen short-sleeve with a bias-cut yoke detail, two chest patch pockets, a spread collar, and a curved hem. The fabric runs lightweight and slightly sheer, and it's dry clean only.[5,6,7] | Breeze Yoke Shirt Ns: Choose this for a relaxed, slightly oversized 100% linen shirt in a white ground with narrow dark vertical stripes. It suits you if you want statement detailing like contrast large chest patch pockets and an oversized back yoke, along with a crush-effect, soft-garment-wash, lightweight woven fabric that the image analysis describes as slightly sheer. Note that the fabric's semi-sheer look means it was styled over a black inner top, and the care instruction is dry clean only.[8,9,10] |
