This Long-Sleeved Rugby Top, in American Pima Cotton, features a flat gabardine collar, a hidden button-down placket with genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, the absence of shoulder seams and a hanging loop at the back. Mercerized cotton is a special kind of cotton that is more lustrous than conventional cotton. It is also stronger, produces less lint, and is more resistant to mildew. It also may not shrink or lose its shape as much as "regular" cotton. Luster is caused by the way light reflects off the surface of things. Eliminating the fuzz or lint from the cotton is part of what makes mercerized cotton so shiny.
