This is a polyester/spandex blend. Some folks might know what to expect from that, but this feels like a rayon polyester blend, only not quite as stretchable. It is, however, very "shiny". I'm not sure how well it will retain that luster with washing (it feels like it will fade, but facts not in evidence). If you like shiny, flashy clothing/shirts, go for it. I was a bit surprised :).See full review
