Having a really tough time finding out more about this fabric, or where I can find more of this shirt!

I purchased a Perry Ellis short sleeve shirt from a department store, and wore it in very hot conditions. It managed to outperform pretty much any other shirt I have in the heat. It’s 100% cotton, and when I look at it closely, there are small squares in the fabric that seem to have a very loose weave, allowing air to flow. From a distance the shirt just looks textured.

I contacted Perry Ellis to know what kind of fabric this is, or where I could buy more of these shirts, but I didn’t have any luck.

Does anyone here know more about this cotton weave type, or where I could buy more? I’d pretty much switch my entire summer wardrobe to this if I could find it.

Thanks!
