Abercrombie & Fitch 100% Linen 2-Pocket Shirt, $43 (was $85)
Why do we like this deal?
Abercrombie & Fitch’s summer sale continues through July 12 (with 40% off sitewide), and while there’s a lot to take in, one thing is clear: There’s a lot of linen available in this sale. Most brands retail their linen apparel at full price during the hot summer months, making such markdowns the exception rather than the norm. The selection includes the brand’s 100% linen shirts now priced at less than $45.
Normally priced at $85, the Abercrombie & Fitch 100% Linen 2-Pocket Shirt is only $43 while the summer sale is live. All three colors of the best-selling shirt – beige, gray and black – are also on sale at the same price, and all sizes from XS to 2XL are in stock.

It’s 100% linen, not a linen-cotton blend, which has its own pros and cons. Pure linen breathes and dries faster than a blend, but it is also more prone to wrinkles and requires a gentler wash cycle. It’s not the long-staple, hand-crafted linen you’ll get from more premium mills, and the weave is a little rough, but at this price, that’s the tradeoff you have to make, and it’s worth it for a summer shirt that’s reliably breathable and soft (and still completely linen).
Full-price linen shirts at this construction level (100% linen, no blends, two chest pockets) typically run $70 to $120, depending on where the fabric is sourced and how sophisticated the weave is. At $43, this shirt sits well within that range, even accounting for a thick feel and simple finishing. It’s not the softest or most refined linen on the market, but it is genuine 100% linen at a price usually reserved for blends.

what shoppers are saying
One helpful shopper wrote that this shirt is “well made” and “the perfect summer linen shirt.” Another reviewer said it’s “a casual/professional looking shirt that can be dressed up or down.”
The same reviewer also wrote, “Excellent quality, feels extremely comfortable and lightweight, and looks great with many different outfits.” It’s worth noting that one buyer commented that the shirt ran a little big, so they recommended going down a size if you want a little more TTS.
The Abercrombie & Fitch 100% Linen 2-Pocket Shirt is now available for just $43. Even though stock looks solid, this is a best-selling product and is likely to run out soon—deals like this are common from A&F.
