I have had this shirt for about a year. It is practically indestructible. It is made of a heavy cotton material, and the overall construction is very sturdy. I have heard this style described as a "travel shirt" because of the generous sized zip pockets across the chest. These are plenty big enough for your wallet, Passport, keys, whatever you need to keep secure. It also has two regular shirt pockets for your cell phone, glasses, And other items that you might need immediate access to. The shoulder epaulets give it a "military" look Which a lot of people seem to like. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with my investment.
