Product Insights
ET AL's Marxin Shirt Rp anchors the label's drape-led lineup as a classic-fitted warm-weather shirt, pairing relaxed tailoring with a woven black-on-black self-stripe that reads as a solid across the room and a matte tonal texture up close, slimming the silhouette without fading like a print. The ramie-polyester fabric breathes through hollow fibers, wicks up to 12% moisture, and holds nearly full strength wet, yet it still creases after hours and demands dry cleaning to keep collar, cuffs, and placket crisp, with repeated cleaning gradually softening the hand. Sized 1–6 mapping to S–XXXL in two-inch chest steps, the no-elastane cut shows placket pulling if you're between sizes, so sizing up is the move. At 499 AUD, it costs $200 more than a Myer ramie blend, buying the self-stripe, a tailored fit, and the pedigree of Project Runway AU winner Anthony Capon's design room—elevated smart-casual rather than boardroom formal, with size 1 down to three pieces in stock.
Verified claims
- Brand pedigree
- ET AL descends from 1987 knitwear house SHOW.ROOM, with Project Runway AU winner Anthony Capon leading design since 2008.
- Design philosophy
- House code is relaxed tailoring with soft drapery.
- Tailoring credibility
- Commissioned in 2017 to design the staff wardrobe for Melbourne restaurant Vue De Monde.
- Price context
- At 499 AUD, $200 above the Morrison Hewitt ramie shirt at MYER.
- Size range
- Sizes 1–6 map to S–XXXL / EU 46–56 in 2-inch chest steps, skipping XS; no elastane forgives a borderline size.
- Fabric behavior
- Ramie's hollow fiber weave breathes and wicks sweat, but the fitted shirt still creases after hours.
- Durability
- Ramie keeps nearly full strength wet, and ramie-poly blends survive 50+ wash cycles.
- Woven construction
- The self-stripe is woven into the fabric rather than printed, so the stripe won't fade like a printed pattern.
- Self-stripe
- The BLACK STRIPE pattern is a woven black-on-black tonal self-stripe, not a printed or high-contrast stripe, and it reads as a matte, understated surface texture.
- Hand
- Crisp, linen-like ramie-polyester hand, coarser than cotton at first, softens with wear.
- Wrinkling
- Wrinkles less than 100% ramie, but creases still set after several hours.
- Breathability
- Hollow ramie fibers vent heat and absorb up to 12% moisture.
- Wet strength
- Ramie retains nearly full strength when wet, so the shirt stays structured in humidity.
- Care
- Dry-clean-only care adds recurring cost, but 15% polyester keeps collar, cuffs, and placket crisp through repeated cleanings.
- Designer pedigree
- Et Al is run by Project Runway AU winner Anthony Capon, with 2010 and 2014 Melbourne Cup design awards.
- Shape retention
- Fabric blend holds shape through 50+ wash cycles, though the shirt is dry-clean only.
- Moisture wicking
- Ramie absorbs up to 12% of its weight in moisture and releases it quickly.
- Crispness
- Repeated dry cleaning gradually softens the crisp hand — normal aging, not breakdown.
- Fit
- No elastane, so a borderline chest size shows as placket pulling.
- Between sizes
- The men's numbered sizes grade chest in 2-inch steps, so there is no half-size option; a borderline chest measurement must be matched to the adjacent size rather than an in-between size.
- Range position
- The Marxin is ET AL's classic-fitted anchor amid experimental drapes.
- Occasion styling
- The classic-fitted cut and woven self-stripe make the Marxin polished and understated, so it works for smart-casual wear with chinos or dark denim and for formal settings with a suit or tailored trousers; the tonal black-on-black stripe keeps it subtler and more evening-appropriate than a high-contrast or checked shirt.
- Warm-weather wear
- Lightweight warm-weather shirting — ramie's hollow fibers ventilate and wick.
- Limited runs
- In stock, but size 1 is down to three pieces — inventory scarcity, not a limited run.
- Design provenance
- Designed in Melbourne refers to the design room, not the factory — manufacturing location isn't disclosed.
- Material composition
- The Marxin Shirt RP is made from a self-stripe fabric of 85% ramie / 15% polyester and is dry clean only.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Marxin Shirt Rp: Choose this for a men's long-sleeve, collared button-front shirt in Black Stripe, with subtle self-striping running through a matte black 85% ramie, 15% polyester fabric and a curved hem that sits lower at the back. The merchant describes it as 'classic fitted' and designed in Melbourne, though the saved image analyses show a relaxed, slightly oversized fit. The fabric appears lightweight and slightly translucent where layered, and the shirt is dry clean only.[1,2,3,4] | Breeze Yoke Shirt Ns: Choose this for a relaxed, slightly oversized shirt in lightweight 100% linen with a soft garment wash and crush effect, styled with dark vertical stripes on white, contrast large chest patch pockets, and an oversized back yoke. It drapes loosely with a below-the-waist curved hem and long sleeves with cuffs. Note that the fabric appears slightly sheer in the product photos, and care is dry clean only (P).[5,6,7] | Shola S/s Shirt Ss: Choose this for a loose, relaxed short-sleeve shirt in 100% linen with a bias-cut feature yoke across the shoulders, two buttoned chest patch pockets, and a curved hem that falls past the waist on the model. The Forest Stripe colourway pairs narrow dark brown and black vertical stripes with muted green and rust-red accents, running continuously across the body and sleeves in a woven fabric that appears lightweight with a matte finish. Note that dry cleaning is the only stated care method ('Dry Clean Only (P)'), worth weighing if you prefer home laundering.[8,9,10,11] |
