GIVN FABIAN – the soft corduroy shirt you’ll want to wear all autumn
A good corduroy shirt is one of those items that really brightens up the colder months. It’s not as thick as a jacket, not as formal as a classic shirt, but just that perfect mid-layer that instantly adds character to your outfit. The FABIAN by GIVN is made from 100% organic cotton and feels wonderfully soft thanks to the pre-washed baby corduroy.
The fabric features the subtle ribbed structure for which corduroy is so beloved, but in a lighter, more supple version. This makes the shirt comfortable to wear, gives it a nice drape, and allows you to style it in various ways. Buttoned up as a shirt, worn open over a T-shirt as an overshirt, or layered under a sweater with just the collar and hem visible. Simply lovely.

Soft baby corduroy made from organic cotton
The FABIAN is made from 100% organic cotton. The fabric is a light baby corduroy: finer and more supple than the coarse ribbed fabric you might remember from the past. As a result, the shirt feels soft against the skin and is less heavy to wear than a classic corduroy shirt.
Because the cotton has been pre-washed, the shirt has that comfortable, broken-in feel from the start. No stiff fabric to break in; just put it on and you're good to go. Meanwhile, the corduroy texture provides that warm, wintry look that pairs perfectly with jeans, chinos, wool sweaters, and sturdy jackets.
Fit & styling
The GIVN FABIAN has a regular fit with a casual look. Not tight, not overly oversized, but relaxed enough to be worn open as a layer. The button-down collar gives the shirt a bit more structure without looking too formal.
Wear the blue version with brown, grey, or dark jeans for a calm winter look. The wine color is beautifully warm and pairs very well with denim, dark blue, charcoal, sand, and ecru. Precisely because the colors are deep rather than loud, this shirt is easy to wear on weekdays, but also to a dinner or drinks.
Also great: in autumn and winter, this shirt is perfect as a mid-layer. Open over a T-shirt on milder days, buttoned up under a cardigan or sweater when it gets colder. You’ll catch a glimpse of that corduroy collar, and your outfit immediately gains more texture.
Material & care instructions
This shirt is made from 100% organic cotton and is GOTS-certified. Organic cotton is breathable, feels pleasant, and is a great choice if you're looking for a natural material you can wear often.
Wash the shirt inside out at a low temperature and avoid using too much detergent. Don’t overfill the washing machine so the fabric can move freely and rinse properly. Avoid putting corduroy in the dryer, as it usually doesn't do the fabric any favors.
Take the shirt out of the machine immediately after washing, gently pull it into shape, and hang it up to dry. If necessary, iron inside out at a low temperature to keep the fine ribbed structure looking its best.
Sustainable & fair
GIVN creates clothing with attention to material, fit, and production. This shirt is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and produced ethically in Paredes, Portugal. A fine example of sustainable menswear that doesn't feel complicated or over-the-top, but is simply well-made.
And that is exactly why we love pieces like this. It’s a shirt you’ll often reach for because it’s easy to combine, comfortable to wear, and has just a bit more personality than a plain cotton shirt.
