The shirt is well made, and will probably last forever, but the fabric is quite stiff and I feel it needs to be laundered about 10 times at least before it will become soft enough for me to wear. I'm sure some folks would like crisp clothing, but not me.  Wish they made this shirt without the collar. I have a short neck and these flair open collars don't look all that good on me.  I do like that it has buttons all the way down the front (again, well made) and I like the option that I can therefore wear this shirt over, say, a white t-shirt and unbutton the black shirt halfway down the front. That will look snazzy and let me add a layer during cool spring or fall days.
