The shirt and fabric are incredible. The wool takes the dye and gives it a deep, rich hue. I got this for dancing, knowing that it breathed well and did not smell. It worked as expected. I like this design because it does not have a chest pocket; I see no need for a chest pocket on a polo shirt.

On a whim, I took it with me to the tropics, where I wore it as well as featherweight cotton shirts. Yes--I wore a wool shirt outdoors during the clear, sunny day in the tropics. It worked better than the cotton, which was sopping wet by the end of the day. The wool fabric is a tad less comfortable next to my skin than the cotton, but it breathed well--even under my backpack--and did not smell. Ever. The sun beat down on it and it was just fine.

The only complaint I have is that it is not really machine washable. You can do this, but the fabric loses its shape almost immediately. Better to hand wash with Woolite.

Otherwise, the shirt does exactly what I wanted it to do.
