The shirt is thick. It feels like it will hold up to the stresses of working. I am 5'8" and thin. The shirt is too long in the torso. The bottom of the shirt covers my butt when I would like it to be 2 or 3 inches shorter. I am probably going to tuck it in. The sleeves are normal length for me and slim. I am afraid it could shrink in the wash since it is cotton. The shirt pocket has a stitch that holds your pen in place which I really like.
