I really like the spread collar because it allows me to display a nice, thick knot. However, this shirt doesn't have a pocket. I really need a pocket for my line of work. I'm always carrying a pen with me to write notes, etc (you don't need to know what I write down, so yeah, etc.). That's the only negative with this shirt. I really like the Kenneth Cole Reaction shirts because the fabric isn't thick nor thin. It's soft & durable. Also easy to care for.
