I was concerned about how this would wash up, but no problems using cold water, and detergent meant for wool, and air drying.  It is a bit scratchy at first, but has softened after a few months use and washings.  One snap closure did come apart once, but was very easy to just put the two pieces together again; however, it might be a problem if you lost one of the pieces, but easy enough, if that happened,  to buy a snap.  The fit is classic, not slim.  I purchased two of these shirts as gifts, and would certainly buy them again.
