Quick answer

The Cotopaxi Tierno Button-Up Shirt is a casual, relaxed-fit shirt made from a soft recycled cotton-polyester blend. It's best for everyday wear when you want the comfort of pajamas with a polished look.

The fabric: recycled cotton-polyester blend

The Tierno uses a blend of recycled cotton and polyester, which gives it a notably soft, buttery feel. This combination also adds durability and helps the shirt resist wrinkles better than 100% cotton.

Because the fabric is a blend, it may not breathe as well as pure cotton in very hot weather. It's ideal for moderate temperatures or layering under a jacket.

Fit and sizing considerations

The Tierno is designed with a relaxed fit, meaning it's roomier through the chest and body than a slim-fit button-up. This makes it comfortable for casual wear and easy to move in.

If you prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down. For a looser, more relaxed feel, stick with your usual size. The shirt is available in standard men's sizes.

Decision rules for the Tierno Button-Up Shirt

  • Choose the Tierno if: You want a casual button-up that feels like pajamas but looks put-together. The soft recycled blend is comfortable for all-day wear and easy to care for.
  • Size selection rule: If you prefer a relaxed, roomy fit, order your usual size. For a more fitted look, size down one. Check the size chart for chest measurements to confirm your choice.
  • Consider an alternative if: You need a shirt for formal occasions or very hot weather. The relaxed fit and cotton-polyester blend are best for casual, moderate-climate use.
