The stripe is woven, not printed. Bands of satin run through a matte ground, so the pattern is a difference in finish rather than in colour - it appears and disappears depending on where the light is.
The shirt around it is cut deliberately large: shoulders dropped well past the joint, a full body with room to move, and long sleeves finished in a deep double cuff that can be turned back twice. The collar is a standard point, the placket runs the full front, and the hem is left straight rather than curved.
It works tucked into almost anything, and it works over a swimsuit. Very few shirts do both.
