PATAGONIA MEN'S GO-TO SHIRT | ORGANIC COTTON SHIRT
THE SHIRT FOR EVERYTHING: PATAGONIA MEN'S GO-TO SHIRT
The name says it all. The Patagonia Men's Go-To Shirt is the short-sleeved shirt you grab without thinking when you don't know what to wear — and it always works. With 159 grams of plain weave fabric made of 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester, a slim fit that feels good without being tight, front buttons, a chest pocket, and a rounded hem, it is the shirt that works just as well on the plane, at a restaurant, on the beach, or on the trail. No wrinkles. No hassle.
WHY THE GO-TO IS THE SUMMER SHIRT YOU DON'T KNOW YOU NEED
The Go-To is not a technical surf shirt nor a formal work shirt. It is exactly the middle ground that most men look for in summer: a button-down shirt that is as light as a t-shirt, doesn't wrinkle in the suitcase, dries quickly if it gets wet, and looks good with swim trunks or pants. Customers who own one usually end up buying more than one — in different colors, to have the whole summer covered.
Its plain weave fabric of organic cotton and recycled polyester is softer and more natural to the touch than a purely technical shirt, but more wrinkle-resistant and faster-drying than a 100% cotton shirt. The slightly tailored slim fit avoids the "baggy" look without sacrificing freedom of movement. And the left chest pocket, designed for sunglasses, is the detail that proves this shirt is intended to be taken to the beach.

EXPERT ADVICE
“The Go-To Shirt is the shirt we recommend most at Core Surfing when someone asks us what to take on a surf trip. It’s light, takes up no space in the backpack, doesn’t wrinkle, and works for everything that happens out of the water: the airport, dinner, the town market. The slim fit looks good on almost every body type, and the prints each season are always among Patagonia’s best. If you can only take one shirt, make it this one.”

PATAGONIA GUARANTEE — "WE’RE IN BUSINESS TO SAVE OUR HOME PLANET"
Patagonia is not just a technical clothing brand. Founded in 1973 by climber and activist Yvon Chouinard, it is today one of the world’s most committed companies regarding sustainability. Winner of the UN Champions of the Earth award in the Entrepreneurial Vision category, it has been donating at least 1% of its annual sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment since 1986. In 2022, its founder transferred ownership of the company to a trust and a non-profit organization, with the goal that all profits be used to fight climate change.
The Go-To Shirt reflects this philosophy in its fabric: 60% organic cotton grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and 40% recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles — which reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 59% compared to virgin polyester. The shirt is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, and Patagonia’s Worn Wear program allows it to be repaired whenever you need. When you buy Patagonia, you aren't just outfitting your adventure; you are financing the planet’s.
HOW TO WEAR IT AND HOW TO CARE FOR IT
Recommended uses: surf and beach trips, daily summer wear, light hiking, city in hot weather, restaurants and informal dinners, festivals and outdoor events, planes and transportation. Its fabric works for any activity that doesn't involve intense, prolonged sweating — for that, Capilene is the more suitable choice.
Usage tip: the Go-To’s slim fit is intended to be worn untucked, paired with swim trunks, chinos, or jeans. If you are between sizes, go up one — cotton fabric can shrink slightly with the first hot washes. Always wash cold to maintain the fit and colors.Care:
- Machine wash cold (30 °C or less)
- Do not bleach
- Tumble dry low
- Iron at medium temperature if necessary
- Do not dry clean
