The shirt is beautiful, but it's beautiful because is a casual shirt that don't make you look out if you put a sport jacket. I travel light and I avoid been over dress neither under dress -trashy preppy kind of thing-. This shirt is the perfect companion to cover those situation when just casual doesn't cut it. In several trip I been exposed to appear in places where jacket are required or just feel propel wearing one. The shirt hold the lines pretty good even after pulled out of the back-pack. It's machine washable but I don't dry it on the drier, I hang it on a hanger and let it dry like that -it dry in less than two hours-. At those prices two of this shirt goes a long way for travelers and for going out on a casual atmosphere restaurant, complement it with a sport summer jacket and you are up to an good fashion impression.
