I guess I was expecting the fabric to be a little thicker. It is almost sheer - you can't really see through it but any indentation (i.e. breast) will show very clearly. The sleeves were long enough to use the thumb holes comfortably - sometimes I find they are too short but not in this case. The shirt is longer than I think the picture shows, and the back goes even longer. It can be pulled up a bit without looking ridiculous since it is so thin. There is a surfer on the back, bottom which I didn't realize - maybe some of the other pictures show it.
