This shirt is well made, amply fitting and good for traveling to tropical countries with lots of sun (it is made to be sun blocking) and heat. It has netting in various places for ventilation. The color is light lavender, not my favorite lavender color (I do love purple), BUT, it is a light color, not beige, which most of these shirts seem to be, so therefore is good for wearing in hot, sunny climates.
Lightweight, comfortable. I plan to wear it over a light T when traveling. Nice pockets. Sleeves can be rolled up and then held in place with buttoned tab.
So disappointed. Purchased this shirt a couple of years ago and was very happy with it, so was pleased to see other colors offered this year and decided to purchase another. Unfortunately the quality and style(including the collar) are not the same-very poor. Noticed that the place where it is made has changed as well. It feels like Bean's is trying to make a cheaper shirt, not their usual quality. Also, be aware if you purchase the violet that it is almost white. Will be returning this. Please bring back the previous shirt!
